hsv-1 results

posted on std forum and forgot to ask doc hhh a question. my hsv-1 result came back at 13.00 and i was wondering with such a high result does that indicate a recent infection? i have not seen any other test results posted that high. i took the herpes select test 1&2 3.5 months after exposure. my hsv-2 result was 0.33. does anyone have any reliable feedback? thanks to all.

No, the numbers don't really mean much.  My hsv1 was 5.80.  All you need to know is that you are infected with herpes 1.
