Herpes: A positive IgG means that you have recently or in the past had a Herpes Simplex Virus infection. HSV is not curable as the virus can live hidden in nerve cells. HSV 1 causes oral sores/ HSV 2 causes genital sores. Both are very contagious. These sores can be treated with antivirals when they arise. Precautions should be taken during pregnancy and if the person becomes immunocompromised.
