<bot>: Hi, I have gone through your question and understand your concern. Your HSV 1 and 2 Egg antibody test by CIA is reactive that means Egg test for herpes virus is positive which indicates chronic infection. But your HSV 1 & 2 IGM antibody test by EIA or ELISA method is negative that means you does not have any recent infection. Serum test for CIA that is a test for which I could not disclose to you according to rules. Please consult your doctor for further disclosure.
