Herpes Detected.. I need more info

[dmpls29]

i have taken an HSV testing on 2/24/10 and came possitive for HSV. im not sure if this is correct, i read so many forums and now im officially confused. I have never had any symptoms or signs so im scared, am i asymptomatic? the result states this:
HSV 1/2 IGG, HerpesSelect type ABS
HSV 1 IgG >5.00 H
HSV 2 IgG + 0.64
within the ranges this is really high.. But im thinkin to retest soon.. Am i infected with the genital or just cold sores. im confused? i have never had any cold sores...  Im terrified too..

Did the doc test for yeast or herpes by swabbing the area?

Just because your bloodwork shows positive for HSV1 does not mean your symptoms are genital herpes. Only a swab/culture of the area can tell you that. Statistically your HSV1 would be oral. Oral herpes is an incredibly common skin condition; most of us won't make it to the old folks home without it.

So, no reason to think you have genital HSV1 unless you've tested positive via a swab/culture for it.

Well there is no way to tell until you get symptoms where the infection is.

If it is a type 1 genital, then you may have less frequent and severe outbreaks considering you never have had apparent symptoms.

I had a bad yeast infection; first ever by the way, so i went to the doctors and got checked for the yeast and decided to get check for all the STD's and do blood work for them too.. U kno since i was already in the whole Pap position.. So i get the blood work done and comes to find out i got detected for something.. Herpes

Im happy i got tested but not happy with the results... Im still unsure what herpes i have but i am still going to get tested again.. From what i read i see that HSV 2 is the worst to have but im not sure what HSV 1 is all about.. Im still uneasy about knowing all this..
