Everybody says igmherpes test should never be ordered.iwas negative long time but now i had potential exposure2weeks ago.just turned 18 can i take it?

It isn't very good.: mostly because most people will be at least somewhat positive on it (from prior oral infection in childhood). If you're negative, the test is more likely to be helpful and repeatedly negative to BOTH IgM AND IgG mean you don't have it.
