Positive hsv 1 igm and negative igg
Following results he got after hsv 1 igm and igg test. Igm value 14.8 au/ml with reference value for reactive is greater than 10 au/ml. As for igg test it is less than 1 au/ml. Some days before testing, he had a fever and swelling in neck which gets resolved on its own after some days. He didn't have any sores or blisters on the lips or genitals.
Does this imply he had herpes ? Or should he go for another test.
Also if he does have herpes, how does this spread, am I also prone of getting it.
