Herpes Tests

I recently got tested for Herpes - simply as a check.
I have no symptoms but have had oral cold sores before.
No previous genital ulcers.

My test came back as positive for both HSV1 and 2.
Could this be due to cross-reactivity?
i.e. I have only had one of the (probably HSV1) and that HSV2 shows up postive anyway?
Thanks for your help!

your hsv2 is a low positive and needs confirmed with further testing. How long ago did you last have sex before your test? do you have a regular partner?
