New results.

Everyone

Took test 3 month post exposure to be sure

Results are
HSV type 1. > 3.5. No change.
HSV type 2        .52.   Vs. first time 1.25

Is this conclusive. Can I put this behind me and just live and treat the hsv 1?

Most people have hsv1 orally. HSv1 prefers the oral area and 60-70 percent of population has it. Over 80-90% hsv1+  Have it orally. If you didn't have any genital sores in the
Memory or if you had cold sores in the past you can be sure it is an oral infection. Unless anything Genital appears

yeah it seems as such.  You have a low positive and a negative for HSV2.

Maybe you repeat the test or get a confirmation, but you look negative for HSV2
