    I am a young lady that was raped and I had teat done at the time. Now yrs later I was told I may have herpes. I am not really what you would call sexually active. I went to the Dr. because i borke out in the bumps that i thought was a ringworm or impetigo on the top of my vaginal areae. I went to a Dermatologist that said it was something ficculitsis, something to do with me and my shaving. But they did test me for all STD and herpes. I have the results and they are confusing (as far as the herpes). I was wondering if you can tell me what it means. The HSV IgG is 23.0 Index and the IgM is negative. I was told that it ment i had a coldsore on my vaginal region by a friend, but how can that be if I am not having sex.
