Herpes hsv 1 or 2 igg igm value
I got tested for hsv 1 and 2 igg and igm blood test, after 24 days of exposure(fellotia). I am Male.
IGM values: hsv1 is 0.1, hsv2 is 0.2
IGG vales: hsv1 0.4, hsv2 is 0.1
I had chicken pox(which is a types of herpes too) when I was small.
I am currently in my 5th week.
Symptoms: no genital symptoms. Oral small white spots which a dermatologist in practo said to be Not herpes rather fordyce spots through image sharing.
I was wondering why hsv result was 0.4 for igg but only 0.1 for igm after 24 days of exposure.
Do I need to get retested after 6 weeks for hsv to confirm.??
