A member asked:
Antibody blood test for hsv 1&2: would 10 weeks after exposure be considered an "old" infection that the test would now show as igg and not igm?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Correct : After ten weeks your igg would be positive if you acquired herpes. If its negative then you did not get herpes.

Had unprotected sex a month ago - IgM test negative and HSV Type 1&2 IgG Antibody test positive (17.40), recent infection or had it for some time?
If tested for only IgM antibodies for HSV 1 and 2, are these IgM antibodies still present in blood months after exposure? Or do they convert to igg?
Hsv 1/2 antibody blood tests -- would this blood test always test IgG and igm? Hsv 2 negative -- i assume for both IgG and igm?
If IgM antibodies for HSV 1&2 appear before IgG antibodies in blood tests, how much sooner does IgM appear compared to igg?
Most doctors say that it takes between 4-8 weeks for antibodies for HSV 1/2 to show up in blood. Is this for IgG or IgM antibodies?
