Herpes simplex virus(HSV) 1+2 IgG, >30
I got my myself tested for HSV 1gM and 1gG, and tested negative for 1gM and positive for 1gG. Could anyone please confirm whether I have an active STI or not? How can I contain the virus, if it is active?
I have no symptoms and 2 yrs ago I had a warts breakout but my gynac didn't test me for HPV or HSV, she just conducted cervical cancer test which came out negative.
So I am not sure whether I had contracted HPV or HSV 2 yrs ago. Does HSV 1gG positive means I have antibodies and I am immune to the virus? Or does it mean I have an active virus which I might have contracted recently?

If the IGM is negative you do not have an active infection
A positive igg indicates immunity not infection
