herpes test results question?

Hi,

Thanks for the group for serving lot of people's concerns.

I recently gone thru the herpes type1 & type2 IGG test, after i observed (very) small sores on my genital (they were little itchy at that time but no burning feeling). By the time i gave the culture seems sores were cured. I gave the test on 12 th day of my exposure to unprotected oral..Here are the results,

Hsp1 IGG : 2.17 (they said its positive)
Hsp2 IGG : 0.3 (negative)
culture : negative

lab guys said the hsp1 is normal not a serious disease. it gives u like cold sores in mouth( but i hardly remember having sores  in mouth in my past) ..they said i should be concern only if i had hsp2..

here are my questions
1.) does hsp1 is normal? can i consider my self clean..?
2) if my hsp2 results are -ve what could causes the sores on my genital?
3) was it too short time (12days) after my exposure, to caught up the hsp2 in my blood results? ( i should have waited more time before i gave blood test?)
4) what are the serious health problems and sexual problems i will experience with Hsp1 +ve ?

lot of things going on mind. couldn't able to live my normal life...? Highly appreciate your suggestions.

Thanks

herpes is abbreviated as hsv.  hsp is the abbreviation for a totally different infection.

at this point, no way to know if you have hsv1 genitally or not unless you get a return of genital symptoms. should you get them, be seen within 48 hours of their appearance for a lesion culture and typing.  

most adults will test + for hsv1 whether they can recall obvious cold sores or not.   hsv1 would've been your risk from receiving oral sex, not hsv2.  Since a blood test only tells you what you have and now where you have it, best you can do at this point is wait for a return of symptoms .

wish I had more exact answers for you but it's the best that can be done in a situation like this.
