Chances Of Testing False Positive For IGM And IGG While Trying To Concieve?

i was tested for Torch because i am planning to get pregnant and my HSV2 test came back positive for IGM (1.24) and IGG (3.67). Could it be false positive? Because I have been with the same person within the last 5 years and I do not have any herpes symptoms.

IgM is specific for HSV2, chances are very less being false positive. consult a dermatologist for proper treatment for HSV 2i infection
