Recent test shows Im positive but could it be wrong?

I recently had a full physical done along with blood work, Ive never showed any signs or symptoms of herpes and I'm wondering if the results could be wrong or if I should get another test done? I think the form shows that I was only tested for HSV-2 here is what the form says:

HSV 2 IGG, HERPESELECT

Type Specific AB                              In Range               Out of Range               Reference Range
                                                                                         1.31         H              EIA value
EIA Value              Explanation of test results:

1.10  Positive-  HSV-2 IGG antibody detected

This assay is type specific and will differentiate between HSV-1 and HSV-2 infections.  A single positive result only indicates previous immunologic exposure and the level of antibody response may not be used to determine active infection or disease stage.  The test should be repeated in 4-6 weeks when negative or equivocal results are obtained in suspected early herpes simplex disease.

This is my first time being tested for any type of STD as you can see mine results were 1.31 the lab where it was done was quest diagnostics.  If there is any other information you need please let me know

Thank you

The test shows that you are positive for HSV2 which is typically the genital version.
