A member asked:
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?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Antibodies: Igm antibodies tell us of a new infection. All, if positive will mature into igg antibodies.
