confused about herpes test results

i got a herpes select test done in april 2010 and my results came back HSV1 0.11 and HSV2 0.12. that was about 20 weeks after possible exposure. just for a peace of mind i decided to get the test done again a couple weeks ago so july 2010 and my rresults came back HSV1 0.11 and HSV2 0.22. The second test was about 7 months after the possiv
ble exposure. since the HSV2 went up, does that mean that my body could just now be building antibodies and the test is starting to pick them up or should i just trust the test and assume both are negative? the test i got done was the igg herpes select. if anyone could help explain why my HSV2 went up that would be great. thanks

your test results are clear negatives and you have no reason for further testing from the encounter in question.  

the change in results is meaningless.
