About HSV test results
I have two questions,
1. I Got HSV 1+2 IgG result with index value 30, does it means spread of HSV in body is high? Will it lead to any serious issue in future? I am on Acyclovir 400, five times daily now.
2. Can a HSV positive couple plan for a baby?
Please reply.

HSV Positive means you have active infection in the body.Even after treatment it cannot be cured completely but the sores and pain can be controlled

If you want to plan for the baby...get your partner tested for HSV and take prophylactic medications after consulting the doctor. Now due to proper care and medications baby will not have any active infection from the mother ,baby will be born healthy
