what does low positive mean?

I recently had a herpes culture test and received a low positive.  I was told that a low positive is still positive but have had no real symptoms except a recent laceration to one side of my vagina.  What does low positive mean?  I have seen other postings where people have numbers 1.06 etc. but the person who gave me my results had never heard of a low positive and when I went to the clinic today was once again told that low positive is still positive.  Is this true?

I don't know if i did this right just now so apologies if I'm posting this twice

I had a culture test and was told it was a low positive.

I had a blood test today but won't get results for a week and am hoping to get some answers sooner...

did you have a lesion culture done , a blood test or both? You won't get a low positive from a culture test hence why I ask.
