Herpes/HSV can be transmitted via massage which involves just massage nothing else?

As i feel infected after massage as i got two days mild fever and no lesion or outbreak. since then more depressed til today due to possibility of transmission.

Also i developed ringing in the left ear fourth week not sure is due to infection/anxiety/depression. At fourth week(28th day), done hsv testing both igm & igg came back negative.

After that, i still not convinced as repeatedly thinking about std. So i took one more hsv test at 56th day(8th week) this time hsv 1 igm alone came back positive with 1.23 index.

Is there any possibility if massage therapist purposely infected using her saliva by spit over my back which has back acne that could made i get infected?

Not sure if she was having active lesion or something but i felt something fishy as they offering extra service. Is hsv 1 igm testing reliable one?? as i heard more false positive with herpes testing which also mentioned in cdc website and they strongly asked to ingore igm testing. Is there any possibility that oil used is infected with hsv virus that eventually infected me?

I also lost some weights on second week.

what's index and Ru/ml method from elisa test? as i had igg 1 0.72 & igg 2 0.86 from first elisa test and in second test received result with igg hsv 1 3.2ru/ml & igg hsv 2.4 ru/ml

      but hsv 1 igm says positive at 8th wek where igg still negative that means i infected recently.

      my main concern over massage is why dont that therapist intentionally infected me through her saliva / touching her fluid then massaged me back where acene is present.

      Also, the oil used was could infected with hsv that comes in contact with infected fluid?
