Dear doctor how long hsv2 igm turn to igg ? will hsv2 still spread if it turn to igg ? thank you?

The HSV2 IgM test is useless; most positive results are false and knowledgeable STI experts recommend never doing it. IgG antibody develops within 3 months -- that is, a negative IgG test 3+ months after exposure means that person does not have HSV2, regardless of the IgM test result.
