please help me understand my results

Hi i just went and got tested for Herpes 1/2,  blood work shows that i have an EIA value of 1.05 for simplex 1 and 0.09 for Type 2.   I've never had any outbreaks or coldsores in my mouth or genitals.   The result sheet states "This Assay is type specific and will differentiate between HSV-1 and HSV-2 infections. A single positive result only indicates previous immunologic exposure and the level of antibody response may not be used to determine active infection or disease stage".    
I'm not entirely sure what to make of this?   Any help is appreciated.  
thanks
