Im worried about a possible herpes infection and Im not sure when to take the IgG and IgM tests after a potential exposure. How long should I wait before getting tested for herpes to get accurate results? Also, can herpes spread from the genital area to the oral area?

You can take the herpes IgG and IgM test about 24 weeks after suspected exposure for accurate results, as it takes time for antibodies to develop. Yes, herpes can spread from the genital area to the oral area through direct contact, especially during active outbreaks.
