My report shows HSV IgM positive (2.02) but IgG negative. I do not have any symptoms. What should I do? Is this something to worry about?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A positive HSV IgM with negative IgG can indicate recent exposure or a false positive. If you are asymptomatic, no immediate treatment is needed, but precautions during intimate contact are advised. Repeat the test in 2 to 3 weeks to monitor IgG conversion. Avoid stress, maintain immunity, and consult a doctor if symptoms appear.
