I'm trying to understand the difference between the Dengue IgG and IgM tests and the dengue NS1 test. When should one be used over the other? Are they looking for different things, and does it matter how soon after symptoms show up that you take them?

The NS1 test detects the dengue virus NS1 antigen, while the IgM from 3-5days and IgG after 7 days to detect the dengue virus antibodies.

View allI recently got my blood test results back for HSV 1 and 2, both IGM and IGG serum. The report says HSV 1 and 2 IGM is 0.65 and HSV 1 and 2 IGG is 16.10 CLIA. I'm kind of worried and not sure what these numbers mean. Could you help me understand what's going on?
Physician opinion is advised.

I'm worried about my friend who had a possible HIV exposure. He got tested at 30 days with the HIV12 antibodies combo test from Dr. Lal Path Labs and it came back negative. Then, he took another test at 45 days with SRL lab, and that was negative too. Is there still a chance he could seroconvert after 45 days? This whole situation has got us both stressed out.
ask him to get tested at an interval of 6 months if that also turns out negative,then he is free from disease
