what u experienced 8 months ago is wierd for sure. was there any sexual exposure at the time other than your husband. It's so low it could be a false positive, or your husband may have it and just asymptomatic and just may of infected u 8 months ago. after this whole time the number should be higher. a western blot test will give you the answers u seek

yes! igg is for past exposure.. if anyone does not preents lesions the only way to know if they are active is to perfom a IGM because it means active or recent infection

take L LYSINE DAILY and yes valtrex will help transmission. but if you have been with him he may already have it. have him get a blood test. I know it may seem like the end of the world but it really isn’t. Thousands of people live a normal healthy lives and are happy who have it

u definatly have hsv1 and also u have tested a low positive for hsv2 so low the result could actually be false wat i would do is retest for hsv2 in 3 months time to see if the number rises which would confirm that u do have it
