How do I interpret these Herpes Select Type Specific AB Tests results?

HSV 1 IGG test result = .28

HSV 2 IGG test result = .93

The test was accurate for that encounter 3 months ago.  I would suggest you have your partner tested to know thier status if they don't already.

No symptons.

I opted for the test after a former GF mentioned she was tested and was determined to be positive.

Approximately three weeks from last encounter.

BTW: why do any antibodies show up in a test categorized as negative? Are these residue antibodies from childhood ilness?

I can't interpret your results as the best person for that is your doctor and/or Grace/AJ as they are trained in the test reading.  

However, some questions that will help them.  

When were the test taken from your last sexual encounter?
