Thank you for query. Ig G abtbodies are more reliable and appear after 2-3 weeks of herpes infection.so positive means you were infected some weeks back . 1 abd 2 are types of herpes.it usually persists .IG M is present only in acute infection in 1-2 weeks and disappears .it is non specific and can be present in other infection also.you can get back for more clarification.
