herpes testing

I had the sex with female sex worker two years back .after one year from this exposure  for my satisfaction i did all STD testing and i got all negative testing  including both HSV 1 & 2 IGM and IGG blood testing.
Again i had the sex with female sex worker before 6 months from now.
I  did all STD testing  (including HSV 1 & 2 IGM and IGG )one week before from now   and result was negative for all STDs except  HSV 2 IGM  which is positive . To get the confirmation I had repeated the HSV  1 and 2 IGM and IGG testing again and result was same .
Any way my HSV 2 Igm positive result is confirmed two time and HSV 1 and 2 IGG negative result was confirmed two times after 6 months of sexual exposure .
I am confusing about whether am I infected by HSV 2 ?

Hi, we dont use igm and if you tested negative with the igg twice then you are negative for hsv.
