got my 5 month hsv IGM

So I was tested today at pp for my IGM. One woman tried to talk me out of it, another told me thats its accurate and to take it. I took it to protect my partner from infection. I'm still scared out of my mind and randomly cry. How accurate was my 6 week IGG? I'm sooooo scared. I know herpes won't kill me, but I'm just upset. I had to call a suicide helpline last night and missed class and some assignments. :/ I finally got past my paranoia of having a new std or new HIV strain, but I'm really upset because if I do test positive I know exactly who I got it from and one little mistake accompanied with the perfect storm of BV could make me pay for the rest of my life. :'('

OH & get this, the lady who took my blood blew her nose then took my blood. I was so stressed about these results that I didn't think about it until later. SHE BLEW HER NOSE WITH HER GLOVES ON! WTF?! And though PP are supposed to be "experts," they didn't seem to have many answers for me on test accuracy. On woman told me that a stie or chicken pox can set it off. I'm scared of inaccurate results but I'm hoping it will just come back negative, then two negatives will let me rest easy. Please pray for me?
