A positive IgG test for herpes means you have had herpes infection in past and developed antibodies (immunity) against it. However as herpes simplex virus is known to be recurrent there are chances of developing infection again . Transmission to partner happens during active infection if you develop active infection again.
Next Steps
Prevention is always better than cure

Preventive measures like use of condoms to reduce the risk of infection with herpes and other Sexually transmitted diseases.A fresh, unused condom should be used with each different person or location (mouth, anal, vaginal areas).Hope you can use this information to prevent the disease.
