If you are IgG positive and IgM negative it means you are immune and also non contagious to any one

If wife is both IgG and IgM negative it means that she is not exposed as yet to CMV
Health Tips
Anyway you can’t transfer . She can get CMV from cats and dogs and small kids . Tell her to be careful from them and not you
