Both HSV IgG and IgM are negative. No active or past infection. Recheck if symptoms arise or after 4 weeks. Practice hygiene and protected contact.

My test report shows HSV 1+2 IgG as 4.2. Could you please explain what this means? Does it indicate that I have herpes? I am also experiencing pain during urination and discomfort in the penis.

My report shows that I am HSV positive and I have some concerns. Is HSV always positive once detected, or can it become negative over time?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I am having warts on my penis for the last three to four months and I have done several tests where I got positive for HSV2. But the problem is that the warts on my penis are due to HPV. How can I differentiate between HPV and HSV2 because from the last few days I am feeling that some warts are growing on my scalp at the hair roots which is causing pain. Can you please let me know if HPV causes warts on the whole body. In my condition I am having them on the penis head scalp and on my feet. How can I know if it is HPV or HSV2 when my report has come positive?
