Is it possible to be a False Positive??? HSV2 low and HSV1 high

Is it possible to be a False Positive??? HSV2 low and HSV1 high

I recieved test results back from a STD check from last week from my Dr.

I had not had any symptoms, but because I had unprotected sex with a partner and unprotected oral sex with another, I wanted to check myself out.  Neither of these have had symptoms either.

I have a history of Cold Sores so I was not surprised by the positive on HSV-1.  I have also had shingles several times as an adult and chicken pox as a child.

Anyway....my results
HSV 1 IgG, Type Spec = 4.99H
HSV 2 IgG, Type Spec = 1.79H

Is there any chance this could be a false positive?

I have read that if you have a High HSV1 and a Low HSV2 it was possible.  But when I asked my OB Dr...I was told that they would research it...because they knew the IgG test to be accurate.  If there is a chance, is there something that I can tell them or lead them to get me another test?

Thank you!
