Help Please

Okay I am totally confused about my lab results. I was told that I do not need any medicines but I am positive for hsv 1&2.
Can you please help me with these results.

Test Name:
HSV 1/2 IGG, HerpeSelect Type specific AB

Results:
                                                               In Range                                                   Out of Range

HSV 2 IGG Type specific AB                                                                                        >5.00

                                                              1.10                                                          Positive


This assay is type specific and will differentiate between HSV-1 and HSV-2 infections. A single positive result only indicates previous immunologic exposure and the level of antibody response may not be used to determine active infection or disease stage. The test should be repeated in 4-6 weeks when negative or equivocal results are obtained in suspected Herpes Simplex disease. The performance of this assay has not been established for pediatric populations, for neonatal screening, or for the testing of immunocompromised patients.
