I recently had a rash on my upper buttocks crack. I went to urgent care, they said looked like herpes. I seen my GP and it was healed, but she said it looked like herpes zoster. I then requested a blood test. I got the results and HSV 1 IGG said >5 which is positve, HSV 2 showed .15 which is negative. I had IGM Titer antibodies. I was last sexually active 2 months prior to this test and about 6-7 weeks prior to this outbreak. I also had bells palsy last May, and was wondering if this is all related and not sure if I should still be concerned about HSV 2, or if it's Zoster? I am not sure if the IGM was high because the outbreak was just a week prior. Also if I was too soon to detect, wouldn't my IGM also be low? This is driving me crazy because I was always very careful with my partners and safe sex.
