Time to stop overthinking. You've had HSV1 most of your life. Yes if you were recently infected you'd know all about it, it doesn't transmit silently.
So case is closed, doesn't require any more stress or thought!

Ok so if I was recently exposed to HSV1 I will be getting lesions by now, but for the fact that I didn't get any (as of yet and hopefully not ever) that makes you think I had it all along? With the two other females I was intimate with for two years, if I would of gotten the HSV1 from this prostitute, would me or one of the two females would of gotten an outbreak on our genitals or mouth by now? Or would it be possible that we all got it on our genitals, but are in sleeping mode right now? Two weeks after exposure I gotten a cold and allergies at the same time; no outbreak. I was stressed about the entire STD testing for the 3 months off and on, no outbreaks. One of the females who is always stressed got no outbreaks (yet and hopefully not ever), she has had her period twice already and suppose to start her third next week and so far no outbreaks. The second female is also stressed due to life changes, no outbreaks. She had her period twice and no outbreaks.
P.S.
I highly appreciate the response's.

Because 50% of the population contracts the virus in their youth, every reason to believe you are one of them.
Further, at the point of infection as an adult, you will get symptoms and lesions. You didn't.
Hence it is so much more likely you were infected all along.

Where I am stuck at is when you say that i had it all along. What makes you think that I had it all along before my exposure to the prostitute? Just wondering.
All my sexual life I have been testing twice a year and I thought that herpes was tested also, but I found out last week that the doctor didn't put in for that. So, the entire time she's been telling me negative for all STD's the whole time I thought she was talking about herpes as well, but I guess she didn't. My last test requested (last week) she did mention that it's best to test for herpes when blisters appear. Why is that? Now with this whole prostitute situation and finally tested for herpes, HSV1 pops up as reactive and it got me scared because I don't know if the prostitute gave me HSV1 on my genitals. I don't know if the outbreaks will occur on my mouth or penis. How will I know? Is there a test? Can my semen be tested if the HSV1 is in my genitals or not? I'm scared of the genital outbreaks.
The number is meaningless, just confirms the virus is present. IgG antibodies are one of 80 elements in the immune system that addresses HSV.
Bets guide is experience to date, if few outbreaks, no need to suspect it will be different in future.

Is the 6.60 number a high number? Can that number indicate the number of outbreaks that I will be getting in life?
Yes this test indicates you have HSV1, most probably an oral infection from your youth.

Your infection is oral undoubtedly. There is no reason to suspect that you will get any outbreaks at all. They are nothing to be scared of, an small annoying sore for sure, but nothing more.
