confuseda about these tests

I tested positive for Hsv 1 IgG, type spec and negative for for Hsv 2 IgG, type spec. (Tests done at Labcorp) Although I had two more tests done that I tested positive for which are both HSV I/II IgG and HSV IgM I/II Combination (These are what I'm confused about!) My doctor told me i was positive for herpes but I'm confused because I know I'm positive but only to HSV 1...and I'm assuming the combintion tests came out positive because of the HSV 1 or am I just fooling myself? My partner tested negative for Herpes so it doesnt make sense to me.. Help please!

I Really hope anyone can help me out with this.

Disregard the combination test results. You know you have hsv1 so they will automatically be + and are a waste of time and money.  The igm herpes test is a bad test overall and should NEVER be drawn on you unless you are participating in a research study.

Your hsv1 is +.

Your hsv2 is negative. As long as the type specific test was done at least 4 months after the last time you had had sex, no need for additional testing for herpes.
