A member asked:
Scab like at my pubic area, not on penis. decided to get a herpes test, and came back positive for igm 1 and 2. does this mean you are infected with herpes?should i re-test? i am sexually active but i use protection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Herpes I/II ?'s: Herpes I or II is very contagious, and a positive IgM test is clearly indicative of infection. Antivirals can treat active lesions, but there is no "cure", as the inactive virus continues to exist inside the cell. "Protection" does not diminish the transmission frequency as contact with genital areas outside the "protection" can occur.
