Test result: cmv antibody igg 38, it also states "current vs. prior exposure unclear" why is it unclear? am i contagious or not? feel achy and ill

Need IgM test: It's unclear because IgM levels are needed to determine recent vs. prior infection. A negative (CMV) IgM results suggest that the patient is not experiencing a recent infection. Positive CMV IgM results indicate a recent infection (primary, reactivation, or reinfection) Positive CMV IgG indicate past or recent CMV infection. May transmit to susceptible individuals through blood and tissue product
