A member asked:
Can i just take hsv1/2 igg and not take the igm? and can i take the test at 7th week? or need to wait for 13 week??

Depends on intent: IgG titers represent past infection and probably some protection, IgM represents current or very recent infection Thus which titers you need to get depends on what you wish to find out.
