Help read my test results

Hello my test results came back back I don't know how to read it.

HSV AB IGG TYPE 1          4.86 ISR
HSV AB IGG TYPE 2          <.91 ISR

does that mean I'm positive with type one? I have no symptoms as they describe it. Please help

Yes, that means that you have type 1.  Statistically, that's oral, and there isn't any reason to freak, as many people have it.

Thank you, I got my results online and my doctor said that if there's anything wrong they would call right away but it's been a week now...

He probably hasn't called because hsv1 is so common that he doesn't view it as "anything wrong."

You shouldn't either.

HSV1 is a very common virus, and about 60% of the population has it.
