Hsv 1 & 2 results

I did a test recently it stated

HSV 1 IGM   0.80    negative
HSV 2 IGM   0.58    negative
HSV 1 IGG   199.44 positive
HSV 2 IGG   2.81     positive

By this could i know if it is a recent infection or I was infected for a while, or should I be retested.
is it a high value or a low value? I never had any symptoms of the disease I know that does not matter because you
could be infected and never show a sign.

I think there's a typo on the hsv1 igg.

your hsv2 igg is a low positive and needs confirmed with further testing. A herpes Wb or a herpes biokit hsv2 igg blood test would be ok options for further confirmatory testing.
