Read again: There is no such antibody as IgV. As for interpreting the tests, one needs to take the patient's history and findings in context to come to a conclusion. Please discuss this with your GYN. Having said that, an elevated IgM to a specific agent often means a current or very recent exposure.

Extremely rare STD: LGV (lymphogranuloma venereum) is very rare, and in recent years in the US almost entirely in gay men. Few or no cases have been reported in women the last 10-20 years. The types of chlamydia that cause it would probably be detected by standard testing, but special testing would have to be done to know it was an LGV strain. However, a negative LGV blood test proves you don't have it.
