Need help with Torch test result

I am 6 weeks pregnant, my doctor recommended torch test. I am confused with the result.
Below given is the result.
Iwas in a relationship for 4 years and my boy friend was involved with other girls too. when i got to know this, i broke up with him and after 3 months i got involved with another person and we got married. My husband was not involved with anyone before marriage. Plz help me and tell me, do I have these STDs and will they effect my husband and baby also? how can I keep them safe? and can these be cured?

just to clarify - the igg for rubella will be + for most women because of past vaccination for it not infection with it. wasn't quite awake yet this morning when I answered.

the way i understand the results and i may be wrong is if your results are below the ranges your results would be negative. is this correct??

if so, the only thing that would be positive is Cytomegalovirus,IgG  and the Rubella.

if you had herpes, you can still have a baby. it is just recommended to do a c-section especially if you are having an outbreak at the time of birth so the baby does not  get the virus.

i am sorry i can not be of much help. i am not sure what some of these things are. but, i have had a lot of blood tests done and mine have always followed the rule that if your results are below the reference range it is negative.

good luck to you, your husband and your baby

your rubella is positive from PAST infection with it. it's not an issue for your current pregnancy.  Almost all of us will test + for rubella by the time we are pregnant.  

your herpes is negative also as we've discussed in the herpes forum already.  

there is not any reason to abort your baby if your partner tests + for herpes either.
if your provider is recommending an abortion due to herpes, please get a 2nd opinion elsewhere before doing so. will gladly continue to follow up with your questions on this in the herpes forum. was asked to  comment on this post here since you were given erroneous information.

I suggest you go to a Family Planning Clinic or a Women's Clinic. Depending where you are in the world ( you don't show it on your profile) these can be free clinics.
  You are positive for Rubella, which is really not a good sign for the baby. You might have picked it up anywhere recently. It would not be from your previous boyfriend. It is an air-borne virus.
You also have the Herpes virus. Which may well have come from your boyfriend. Your husband DOES need to be tested also.

I am sorry for you, but you need counselling in this particular case.
