question about herpes results

i just got my herpes test results and i dont understand what it means, please tell me!!!

here is what it said:

Test Name In Range Out Of Range Reference Range Lab
HSV 2 IGG, HERPESELECT TP
TYPE SPECIFIC AB 0.05 index
Index Interpretation
1.10 Positive
This assay is type specific and will differentiate
between HSV-1 and HSV-2 infections. A single positive
result only indicates previous immunologic exposure
and the level of antibody response may not be used
to determine active infection or disease stage. The
test should be repeated in 4-6 weeks when negative or
equivocal results are obtained in suspected early
herpes simplex disease.
The performance of this assay has not been established
for pediatric populations, for neonatal screening, or
for the testing of immunocompromised patients.
