Hello,
You should know that CMV is a different virus from HIV and you shouldn't worry about HIV because being infected with CMV doesn't mean you have risk for HIV. Having CMV, IGG reactive and IGM non reactive means that baby is immune for this CMV and is not recently infected.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Monika Dede, Infectious Diseases Specialist
