You have herpes simplex infection. The two types that herpes blood tests look for are IgG and IgM. Herpes IgM antibodies usually are detectable by herpes blood tests within 7-10 days after initial infection. A positive herpes IgG test, if the test result is accurate, means that your body has been infected with the herpes simplex virus. A positive result (ie, the presence of IgM class herpes simplex virus (HSV] 1 and/or 2 antibodies) indicates recent infection. The presence of HSV 1 and/or 2 antibodies may indicate a primary or reactivated infection, but cannot distinguish between them. For example, to explain further ,Positive IgM and IgG tests for dengue antibodies detected in an initial blood sample mean that it is likely that the person became infected with dengue virus within recent weeks. If the IgG is positive but the IgM is low or negative, then it is likely that the person had an infection sometime in the past.
