EBV LABS... HELP...

I know this is the Lyme forum, however I have questions regarding my EBV labs. I also posted it on the EBV forum, but wanted to see if anyone here has any input?  I saw the dr today and he didn't really tell me much... just told me I've had an EBV in the past.  Didn't explain anything to me.   Here's how it read...

I was tested for EBV and here are my labs.  My dr didn't tell me anything beside that I've had EBV in the past (which I didn't know).  Here are my labs..    What does this mean?

EBV CAP IGG..............POSITIVE              H                 (NEGATIVE)
EBV CAP IGM..............NEGATIVE                                (NEGATIVE)
EBNA IGG...................POSITVE               H                 (NEGATIVE)

These are really hard to read so I don't want to give you misinformation.  I had trouble with my own.

Did you ask your doctor?  If not I would and ask him or her what other follow up testing is recommended.
