  1. I recently posted this question on a non-H related forum, and I figured I'd try it here. I searched through old posts and I didn't see anything relating to my question: I was recently tested for HSV I and HSV II. I've known I've been infected with HSV I (orally) for over 10 years. I received my results as follows: IgG test results: HSV I Glycoprotein G Ab: 6.29 H (Positive index value) HSV II Glycoprotein G Ab: <0.10 (Negative IV) -- cut off index value is negative for < 0.90. HSV I/II Combined Ab, IgM test results: 2.97 H (Positive IV) The IgM test did not separate HSV I and HSV II. I understand the IgM test is unreliable, but have read a few places it can indicate a new infection. My question is: Can the positive IgM value indicate that it could be just my reoccurring or reactivated HSV I infection, or does it unequivocally mean I recently became infected with the HSV II virus? I hope that makes sense, thanks! Abby
