Blood results - hsv-2 igg was 5.00 were you just exposed recently?

An HSV-2 IgG level of 5.00 indicates that you have antibodies to the herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2), which causes genital herpes. This means that you have been infected with HSV-2 at some point in the past. The presence of HSV-2 antibodies in your blood indicates that your body has mounted an immune response to the virus.

It is important to note that an HSV-2 IgG level of 5.00 does not necessarily indicate that you have an active HSV-2 infection. Many people who have HSV-2 antibodies do not experience any symptoms of the virus. However, some people with HSV-2 antibodies may experience recurrent outbreaks of genital herpes.

If you are experiencing any symptoms of genital herpes, such as painful blisters or sores in the genital area, you should see a doctor for diagnosis and treatment. Treatment for genital herpes typically involves antiviral medications.

If you have been diagnosed with HSV-2, it is important to practice safe sex to prevent transmission of the virus to your sexual partner. This means using condoms during sex and avoiding sexual contact when you have active lesions.
