Hello, Thnx to contact us. If I am your treating doctor I would like to advice you that Ig G is the antibody of immunity, that antibody developed as a result of the immunity towards the disease. So in your case you developed Ig G to both the mentioned viruses. in contarary to IgG IgM is the antibody developed when infection is ongoing, that is for killing the virus, that is negative in your case so do not worry for the lab results. If you have anything else to ask please contact me. Thanx. Dr. Arun Tank
