Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

No, you are negative for the herpes. You are negative for IgM and positive for IgM this signifies. That you have past infection of herpes. You are not currently infected.

As you are negative there are no question of further infection or transfer to partner.

But always wearing a condom is good. It will protect you from STDs and also gives contraceptive benefits.

I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.

Thank you,
Dr Arun Tank
