I've just gotten my STD test results back, and I'm a little worried. My HSV 1 IgG test is positive, but the IgM is negative. I've never had symptoms before, and last month was the first time I had oral sex, so I thought itd be a good idea to get checked. The healthcare provider mentioned everything is okay, but I'm still stressing out. Should I really be worried about this? Could this be something serious?
