Test result question

Just got my test results back :
Hsv type1/2 AB IGG..........22.40
Hsv 2 IGG...................         .47

I think this means I had an exposure to hsv 1a long time ago due to the very high number of antibodies.Is this correct?

The first test you had is a non-type specific test. All it says is that you have at least one type of herpes infection.  It is not type specific. You can not assume anything other than you have some type of herpes in your body from it.

the 2nd result is a hsv2 type specific result and it is negative.

I'm guessing you were tested thru labcorp - it's their default herpes test.

Yeah it was labcorp.Is there more than two types of herpes virus?

There are only 2 types of herpes simplex virus - hsv1 and hsv2.
