A member asked:

Can you tell me what can it mean when your std results for hsv-1 igg says abnormal 3.667 (h)?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

HSV infections: HSV-1 means herpes simplex virus above the waist. Usually presents with cold sores or mouth ulcerations. HSV-2 means gential herpes. While active disease gives an abnormal test by IgM. But herpes is forever. There is good treatment however. See your family doc for this like acyclovir.
