<s>[INST] Hi Dr. please let me know that i was positive for HSV IGM and reactive for IGG 3 months back and after Ayurvedic Medicine now i got IGM negative and still IGG is reactive still I m taking the same medicine until the virus leaves my body, my problem is IGG is reactive means that it is positive? [/INST] Hello,if you test positive for HSV IgG and not IgM, it means that your Herpes infection is not recent-i.e. from the past 2 months.Individuals with recent infection are more likely to test positive for both or IgM alone, which in your case was 3 months ago. Since you got treated with Ayurvedic medicine, thats why your blood test now shows IgM negative-which means you are not currently infected and IgG positive which means you had prior exposure to it more than 2 months ago. </s>
