    hello, my name is Denise. I was tested positive for Hsv-1 and my value was 38. Someone on here told me that it could've come from a past infection. I don't want to give out the wrong info but maybe yours could have been a past infection too

    any oral sex?

    did you know you had HSV? past coldsores?

    any symptoms?

    I dont think the level of Igg reflects old or new, although i read somewhere that high is likely an old infection but no science behind this.

      Not likely no. Lots of people have HSV1 without symptoms and find out upon testing.
