Your results mean the following:
HSV-1 IgM negative → No recent or active infection.
HSV-1 IgG positive → You were exposed to HSV-1 in the past (most commonly during childhood).
No symptoms → You are not having an active outbreak.
More than 60–70% adults show IgG positive for HSV-1 without ever having symptoms.
This usually represents the common “cold sore virus,” not a genital infection.
Can you have a normal sex life?
Yes, you can continue normal vaginal and oral sex.
Transmission risk is very low when:
You have no symptoms,
You are not having any oral sores,
Your immunity is normal.
Can you kiss your partner?
Yes, you can kiss normally as long as you don’t have any active cold sore or tingling around lips.
That is the main period when HSV-1 spreads.
If you want me to interpret your exact lab values, assess the risk for your partner, and guide you on preventing transmission, you can message me privately on nine three two six zero two zero five three six.
I will go through your case personally and give you a clear, customised plan.
