Hi, the information is incomplete.
Its starts off by listing 3.25 but does not say if this is hsv1 or hsv2 and either way it falls into the falls positive range as any number 3.5 and below would need retesting.

The next section only is describing the test.
and the end stating Igm is of no value as we dont use igM.

So basicly your left with the opening numbers of 3.25 which we dont know what they are referring to and either way it needs retesting as is under 3.5

You've already been living with this your whole life, nothing needs to be different simply because you now know in a medical sense.

Keep your lips away from others when having an outbreak, nothing more is required of you, or expected.

No you've had HSV1 since your youth. There isn't anything you need to do. Some people use the cold sore creams and cover up tabs, others some normal lip balm.

You have an oral HSV1 infection from your youth. As such the only real symptom you can expect is an occasional cold sore on your lips. It seems you do not even get those, which is not uncommon.

Your current symptoms are not herpes related. You can move on with confidence.

The only thing that can be determined from this test is that you probably have an oral HSV1 infection from your youth like more than half the population. This is hence not a surprising outcome at all.

It is the reason why combined HSV1/2 testing is pretty pointless.

Perhaps of more importance is why did you test? What symptoms or concerns did you have?
