My chart has hsv-1 igg, hsv-2igg and hsv1/2igm

The hsv 1 and 2 are fine but the hsv1/2 is 1.89 eia?

What does all this mean

Ignore hsv1/2. It is an unreliable test called IGM.

In theory it could mean that you were recently exposed to HSV1 or HSV2. However, the doctors believe that it is a worthless test.

I agree.

If you need to retest (it can take up to 4 months to develop antibodies), then just get the IgG done. The IgM is unreliable.

So should i be worried or should i just go get retested or both?

It can take up to 3 months for HIV to show on a test.
