I seem to recall reading that the herpes window period is also 3 months, but I'm not 100% certain....

12 weeks should be enough for HSV-2 IgG blood test. IgM is early detection marker but highly unreliable. I also want to know when would IgM antibodies disappear when the person is infected [like how long it takes for IgM to become negative after initial infection]...
Take care

Hello Saddie,

Yes, The Cowboy is back baby! Now, about your question; I have been told the same thing about herpes (12 weeks).

As always, wishing you good!
