PLEASE, I beg, help me figure out the results

Test:
HSV, IgM I/II Combination

Result:
1.17

Flag:
High

Ratio 0.00 - 0.90
Negative 1.09

The doctor said he's not sure if it is or not but he's 5 points off from being positive and should get further tests. What does this mean? For the love of all things good PLEASE HELP ME.

It appears you had an IGM test.  This test is HIGHLY flawed and shouldn't be used for HSV testing.  You need a type specific igg test to be done.
