the igm herpes test is a poor test in general and your results are meaningless.  It also was totally inappropriate for the igm test to be drawn on you anyways 2 years post encounter.
http://www.medhelp.org/posts/show/248394 is a prior post on the igm herpes test that hopefully explains it more so to you.

The herpes igm is a poor test in general and should've never been done on you.

what triggered you to get tested?
