in theory it would reflect a newly acquired infection however the non-type specific ones aren't of much help as well as the igm tests for herpes in general have high false positive rates. current cdc recommendations are that it not even be drawn on adults for the purpose of diagnosing herpes. the results of your test are meaningless so disregard them.
what is hsv, igm/ I/II combination
hehehhe of course not! just i dont know how interpret my lab test and just asking for help with that. sorry if i disturb you!
you are negative for herpes.
statistically, 1 out of every 2-3 people you've ever kissed in a lifetime has had hsv1. do you typically worry this much when you kiss someone?
what is hsv, igm/ I/II combination?

I get the test but i dont understand the results. Just I want to know ; I have the illness yes or not! pleaseeeeeeeeeeee help me
Hello :)
You're combined results are not what is looked at. The individual ones are.
From the above, it appears negative for both.
Stick around though, I'm sure someone with a lot more insight will be around shortly :)
the herpes igm combination is a worthless test. it should've never been drawn on you. encourage your provider to read the 2010 cdc herpes guidelines to update their herpes testing information so they can be following the current standard of care.
why did you get tested for herpes in the first place? did you have symptoms? how long prior to testing had you last had sex?
