  5. I recently had a herpes (HSV) serum test, and my IGM is 0.62 and my IGG is >30, with an index of <0.90 for non-reactive. I also had tests for HIV 1&2, VDRL, and hepatitis, all of which came back non-reactive. Can you help me interpret these results?

Based on your test results, it indicates that you have a past infection with herpes simplex virus (HSV) as your IgG levels are greater than 30. Since your IgM levels are 0.62, it suggests a recent or current infection. To manage herpes outbreaks and reduce the frequency of recurrences, you can take antiviral medications such as Valacyclovir
