Q: what is the test result range for both negative & positive for hsv antibodies igm & igg? ex. <0.9 ... etc

Differs by lab: What you are asking is for the normal "reference ranges" for these tests. Reference ranges are established by each laboratory based on their testing equipment and vary from lab to lab. There is no universal reference range for these or other lab tests. You would need to ask for the range at the lab where the tests were run.

I got my IgM positive & IgG negative for HSV a week ago. Is this test accurate? Shall I do it or wait for a while?Does the period affect the results?
