Elevated HSV1 igg result

I'm totally new in this forum. I don't even know where to start. I ordered 10 panel std and hiv ab from 'requestatest' online after 12 weeks of possible exposure(5/17/14) which was unprotected oral sex on a female massage therapist which lasted few minutes. I got the result today from labcorp: HSV 1  igg  27.40 Flag High and Hsv 2  igg < 0.91

Hsv1
Negative  1.09

Hsv2
Negative   1.09

Is the 27.40 a right number result? I tried to google this igg result number but could find such high number. My symptoms were sore throat(left tonsil) 3 days after possible exposure, tested negative for strep. It only lasted couple of days. Today, I have mild sore throat again. Another symptom I have was burning tongue which started after the 1st sore throat  and I still have it today though mildly for the last couple of weeks.

I don't know if my recent(7/23/14) kidney stone surgery(ureteroscopy and laser) has something to do with that elevated number.

Hi, nothing unsusal here, your positive for hsv1 and the high number indicates youve had it for quite some time. Maybe from childhood. Your surgery has nothing to do with these numbers.

Disregard the hsv 1 negative 1.09 Hsv 2  negative 1.09 . I was trying to put reference interval but won't post correctly. Sorry. I wish there was way to edit or delete post.
