I got tested for hsv 1 and 2 igg and igm blood test, after 24 days of exposure(fellotia). I am Male. IGM values: hsv1 is 0.1, hsv2 is 0.2 IGG vales: hsv1 0.4, hsv2 is 0.1 I had chicken pox(which is a types of herpes too) when I was small. I am currently in my 5th week. Symptoms: no genital symptoms. Oral small white spots which a dermatologist in practo said to be Not herpes rather fordyce spots through image sharing. I was wondering why hsv result was 0.4 for igg but only  0.1 for igm after 24 days of exposure. Do I need to get retested after 6 weeks for hsv to confirm.??
