URGENT: hsv1 hsv2 blood results!! confused:(

hello,
a few weeks ago (about 3 to be exact) I fooled around with someone who later told me he has herpes.
After almost getting a heart attack...
I went to go see a gyno 2 weeks later when I started feeling a bit tingley down there.
I think part of the symptoms were in my head, and the rest were maybe actually occuring.

I have herpes 1- I get cold sores every so often, and during the time we food around I had a healing coldsore on my mouth- he gave me oral sex as well.

I got tested and these were the results. I'm just so confused because my gyno told me I don't have anything...
but she prescribed me Acyclovir cream which I put on the tip of my clitoris where I felt the tingling. She couldn't see anything- but I felt something there.
I'm also prone to yeast infections and have had bacertial vaginosis a few times.

These were the results:
HSV-1 IgM: 0.14 (less than 0.8 negative, 0.8-1.1 is borderline and greater than 1.1 is positive)
HSV- IgG: 250.2 (less than 16.0 negative, 16.0-22.0 borderline and greater than 22.0 is positive)

These are the ones I am worried about:

HSV2 IgM: 0.15 (less than 0.8 negative, 0.8-1.1 borderline and greater than 1.1 is positive)

HSV2 IgG: 14.2 (less than 16.0 is negative, 16.0-22.0 borderline and greater than 22.0 is positive)


What does all of this mean?
How could she tell me that nothing will appear again?
Or that I don't have it anymore?
I think she doesn't know what she is talking about...

I'm so scared:(

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

4 seconds of genital contact is not a risk.  

as i said, unfortunately I'm not familiar with the test you had done to comment on it.

sorry I was in panic mode and am new at this website...

We had genital contact for about 4 seconds.

I'm in Europe right now and this test was performed with 2 blood samples (two tubes filled).
When I read the results- the one's I posted above- it says that I'm positive for HSV1 (which I knew) but negative for HSV2 right?

But my doctor here said that I have genital herpes but that it's gone...
which makes absolutley NO sense because it's a virus.. and once you have it it's with you.

:(

I'm just so confused...

it's easiest if you just keep bumping back up your post instead of making a new one each time

if a partner has hsv2 genitally, him performing oral on you is not a risk for you.

I'm not familiar with the test you had done. are you in the US?  The only comments I can make are that you already knew you had hsv1 due to your cold sores. I have no idea how accurate the test you had done is as far as hsv2 or what the false positive rate is on it to comment on that.  I can tell you though if you do have hsv2, you had prior to "fooling around" with the partner that led to your anxiety about herpes.  It takes at least 2-3 weeks for all herpes tests to start capturing igg results accurately .
