When a person: Becomes infected, the immune system tries to fight the infection with production of antibodies. Two most common use for test are igm and igg. Hsv 2 igm are usually detectable 7-10 days after the infection and levels stay high for 2 weeks. Igg do not show up until later after initial infection. It will be possible to have a false negative. If you have high risk factors or symptoms talk to your doc.
