Interpretation HSV I/II Combination IGM Results, HSV I, II IGG

I am confused about results I just obtained and I am unable to reach my doctor for an explanation.  What does test 3 mean in light of tests 1 and 2?

Test 1
HSV 1 IgG - 5.31 (positive, I understand this and get an outbreak about once every 18-24 months since I was a kid)

Test 2
HSV 2 IgG - <0.91

Test 3
HSV, IgM I/II Combination - 1.27

Thanks for your help!

I believe you will be told that your test 2 is negative and test 3 is meaningless since is the IgM test, which is an outdated and inaccurate test. Hope that helps.

You are + for hsv1 which you already knew before being tested.

You are negative for hsv2.  If there's been at least 4 months since you last had sex then this is accurate.

As justwondering already said - the igm is meaningless and should've never been drawn on you in the first place so disregard its results.
