Had unprotected sex a month ago - igm test negative and hsv type 1&2 igg antibody test positive (17.40), recent infection or had it for some time?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Prior exposure: Most adults have been exposed to HSV 1, oral herpes. HSV 2 or genital herpes is less common. Was the IgG antibody result for HSV 1 or 2?
