Anti hsv 1&2 igg test positive and anti hsv 1& 2 igm test negative....what does that mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You have Herpes: There should be two results for the igg one for type one and one for type two. But having positive results for herpes for either or both viruses means you have been exposed sometime in the remote past and that the results do not represent a new infection.
