Help for IGG result

[jas1223]

My husband just had a blood test for CMV, IGG came back high at 4.31  the test was for CMV (IGG, IGM).  Should we be concerned?  Should he have follow up tests?  His IGM came back <0.90.  And I was tested and my numbers were Negative.  
Does this mean he has herpes or some other STD?

Please help.  Very perplexed.

most adults will test + for igg cmv. It's an incredibly common infection that most of us contract as young children.

You're confusing CMV (Cytomegalovirus) with HSV, which is the herpes simples virus (aka "cold sores" or "genital herpes").
