A member asked:

My test is positive for herpes 1 and negative for herpes 2 (all igg) but also positive igm herpes too. would you say i have type 1 or 2 ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Both 1 and 2: Sounds like you have an acute infection with herpes 2. Igm indicated acute infection. The igg will become positive with time. A positive igg for herpes 1 indicates prior exposure to herpes 1.
