Immunoglobulin G or IgG is the antibody that is released from our plasma B cells as a result from a prior infection (weeks to years prior) or vaccination. IgM on the other hand is the antibody typically released during acute infections

No, the presence of EBV VCA IgG (antibody IgG to the HBV viral capsid antigen) only means you have been infected with EBV in the past, like 90% of Americans at your age. Take care.
