are you sure this wasn't igg testing you had done? usually we don't see combined igm testing and then specific igm testing - usually that's done with igg testing.
the herpes igm test is a flawed test and we don't recommend its use. did you have a herpes igg test done at all?
grace
it says igm. my igg test says negative. what does this mean?
okay i was reading the test paper wrong
it says igm 1.44 circled and recent.
hsv 1 igg is . 8
hsv 2 igg is .1....what does this mean?
my culture done on my labia says negative for herpes
the igm is a flawed test and you absolutely can not be diagnosed as having herpes from it.
how long prior to your testing had you last had sex?
grace
i had last had sex about 6 months ago
then you don't have hsv2 .
what do my igg numbers mean then.. a 0.1 and a 0.8??
they mean you are negative. there is no other significance to them. you never get a zero as a result due to the way they do the test.
