I'm really worried about my friend. They had some kind of oral exposure about 5 months ago, and when they got tested at 3 months, they were negative for both HSV 1 and 2, both igm and igg. But heres what's concerninghe did another test after 5 months, and his igg value shot up to 18. Just last week, he was recovering from dengue fever, so I'm wondering if that's somehow causing the igg levels to be high. Should he go for another test just to be sure? If he does have this infection, whats the treatment like? Does this mean he has to deal with it forever now? Any advice would be really helpful.
