Should I be rested for type ll herpes

So on October 23rd I went to my gyno for my annual pap and of course said she could test me for everything with no worry that I had anything I just like to keep on top of that stuff I have a boyfriend that is loyal to me and have been with for years she had called me back about a week later with the test results of
Herpes type l igg 0.26
Herpes type ll igg ab 1.56
So positive for type ll .. But from what I've now read that's considered a "low"? Positive I also have been healing from a case of mollesclum that was tested positive for being mollesclum not herpes I'm wondering could that effect the test and if not are my results and numbers worth re testing ?

It would be best to take the Western Blot in cases like this but any igg type specific is ok.

Is there a certain test I should ask for or just the same one done over again ?

Hi, your hsv2 test falls into the false positive range. Any number 3.5 and below would need retesting to confirm. Yours is almost certainly a false positive.
