IgM results

[Honeybear27]

So here's the deal: unprotected sex with 2 men. The latter one pulled out the first did not. I took a Herpes IgG I/II test but the doctor also ordered an IgM test for some reason in March 2017. The test was conducted 94 (13 weeks) days post exposure from first guy and 74 (10.5 weeks)days post exposure from second guy.  My last herpes IgG test was in November 2016 all negative for 1&2. The test results from my March test were
IgG I/II negative
IgM 1.26 High
What should I make of this? Did I get herpes? I know everyone says the IgM test are crap but this kind of freaks me out. I would have been all good if she only tested IgG. I've never had an IgM test before. Thanks for any help!

I really wish more Dr's understood testing better. They see it in the testing menu and just order it. Many std experts are trying to get it removed. Even the concervative cdc is against it.
So what should you make of it? Absolutely nothing. You dont have hsv as your igg clearly shows. I have spent a great deal of time on this firum calming people down who test low positive by igm. Guess what? Not one has ever returned with an actual igg positive test result. At 13 weeks you are good to go and can resume life as normal. You DO NOT have hsv.

Thank you! I'm still going to do a follow up at 12 weeks since the second guy was 10 weeks post exposure. I told my doctor yesterday that the IgM test was a joke and she only need to test IgG from now on. Hopefully she'll take that into consideration. I said since my IgG levels did not show up I didn't believe I had it but I would test once more to be sure. I'll be sure to update incase I'm one of those weird cases it is actually right.
