Why is herpes igm not reliable. do you diagnose a patient for herpes if he/she test positive for igm?

Herpes with IgM ?: A positive IgM test for Herpes I/II is diagnostic of active infection. The lesions may not occur immediately, but the IgM test is accurate for recent viral exposure to Herpes I or II.
