The IgG test simply means you have had exposure to these viruses at some time in the past. There is no way ton know when that exposure occurred. If you had a positive IgM level, it would mean a more recent exposure. These viruses are very common and having an exposure does not mean you ever had an actual infection-your body made antibodies after an exposure. Good luck!
