A member asked:
How likely is it to have igg for hsv2 above 2 three weeks past onset of symptoms? would this be new or existing infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A little early but: With an acute infection, IgM is the antibody produced. It is possible but unusual to get an IgG response in 2 wks thus I would suspect that this is from a past infection.

My Infectious Dis. Spec. said that I was exposed to HSV2 (IgG was positive 1.76) but by my description of symptoms, he said I did not have a classical outbreak. Is there a difference between in "exposed" and having herpes? What's deal with "exposed"?

Is it true that you may present symptoms of hsv2 years after contracting the infection? If so, after X amount of years, would the IGg test be lower or higher. I will preface this by stating I have not been tested yet, but I may be seeing the first signs
