hsv2 results

I just got the result of an hsv2 test and i am not sure what to make of it.

IgG - 0.956
IgM - 0.641

My medical expertise is non existant but from what i've read, IgG would be antibodies you have for a while and IgM are antibodies that are formed when fighting a new virus...
So my understanding of the resultS are:

I am negative on the new antibodies and inconclusive on the IgG...
Please enlight me

also i didn't get tested for hsv1, which i am most likely certain to have like 80% of north american, i had cole sores before.

Hi, it means your negative for hsv2 if tested at least 8 weeks post any exposure.
