What treatment would you give a baby? This concerns me greatly!
the IgM is very likely a false positive and should never have been ordered.
BV would not cause a false positive for herpes, no, the test is just a poor test.
In my experience the IgM is falsely positive about 85% of the time.
If you have a genital lesions, you should have it swab tested.
