Probably you have HSV1. However, you have not had a highly accurate test because IgM testing is worthless in diagnosing HSV. It very often gives false positive results; it would be test to have an IgG-only antibody test. Probably it will (again) show you have HSV1 but not HSV2. Half of all adults are HSV1 positive, so that result is expected, with no worries if no genital or oral herpes symptoms.
