See below: In adults, CMV is usually asymptomatic, but in immunocompromised people, it can be deadly and also in pregnant women, the fetus can be severely affected.

Get a 2nd opinion: You have too many positive tests for one person. Get another opinion, preferably with an infectious disease specialist.
