Hsv 1 and 2 Test Results and Treatments

Dear Nurse Practioner Terri Warren,

I was tested for STD's.  All were negative except the HSV 1 and 2 tests.  Here are the results:
SHA1 and2-Specific Ab, IgG
HAV 1 IgG, Type Spec   4.51       High                            Index                    0.00-0.90
                                                 Negative                        <o.91
                                                 Equivocal                0.91 - 1.09
                                                 Positive                         < 1.09
Note:  Negative indicates antibodies detected to HSV-1. Equivocal may suggest early infection.  If clinically
appropriate,  retest at later date.  Positive indicates antibodies detected to HSV-1;  coinfection with HSV-2 cannot be excluded without type specific testing.

What does this mean in practical terms ?  Do I have HSV-1 infection?  If so, what treatments should I undertake?
If I share this information with my primary,  is he obligated to share it with NY State Health Department?  Does the
health dept. notify my wife ?  If I am infected,  what is the best way to tell my wife and family who will be absolutely devastated by the info ?  I would appreciate your best advice because I have been dealing with this for the past 3 months.  I beginning to become unglued from the stress and strain.  By the way,  I am 73 years old and had oral sex (unprotected) by a massage theapist.  Please respond asap.  Thanks so much.

"HAV 1 IgG"

Are you sure you don't mean HSV 1 IgG?

I think HAV refers to, Hepatitis A virus
