Your test result shows you have either HSV1, HSV2, or maybe both. There is no way to know which one(s) you have except by a type-specific blood test; or if you have an oral or genital outbreak, to have a PCR test to identify the virus itself. Regardless of which type(s) you have, there is very little risk to any children you will have.

The IgG test for HSV-2 was positive for antibodies. My pediatrician said I was exposed. Does this also mean I'm infected, and potentially contagious?
