EBV questions

I'm very confused and hope someone can offer some insight.  I've been trying to find information that will help me understand some lab work I've just had done but am more confused than ever.  I was tested for EBV and everything is normal except for the "nuclear AG".  Anyway, below are my lab results.  Can anyone shed some light on this for me???  (It might as well be a foreign language!)  THANK YOU!  This is all new to me.

TEST                                RESULT                  NORMAL RANGE

EBV VCA-IGG, IFA          155.00 U/mL         (Normal titers after exposure)
                                                                   VCA IGG-IFA 1:10-1:2560
                                                                   VCA IGA-IFA 1:10-1:2560
                                                                   EA (R+D) IGG-IFA  1:10-1:320

EBV VCA IGM, IFA          600 U/mL                      0-99

EBV VCA-IGA, IFA          <1:10 Titer                       <1:10

Thanks!  I looked at the site but am still confused because the names of the tests don't match up.  (Oh, by the way, the labs I listed above weren't copied correctly, but I wrote another post with the correct labs).  Anyway, maybe I can call the lab and they can explain it to me.

Thanks again for your reply! :)
