A member asked:
I recently had an out break of some kind. my hsv igg 1 and 2 both .90 came back negative but my hsv igm came back positive 1.09. what does this mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
IgM vs IgG: Igm shows an acute infection with the hsv virus. After clearance of the hsv (typically) the body will have a positive igg which simply shows previous infection.
