It means that their HSV 2 antibody test result is actually equivocal.  Negative is normally .90 and below and positive is 1.1 and above.  This falls in between.  Is it an IgG test or an IgM test?  When did the person last have a sexual encounter that could have put them at risk?  A person should wait about 4 months from the time of possible infection to testing for greatest accuracy.
