Herpes testing

I tested for Herpes last year here are my results:

HSV1 5.68
HSV2 1.67
Herpes select test

my question was did these numbers really mean? and if I get re-tested what is the possbility that these numbers will change up or down. I really don't have any outbreaks on cold sores on lips I do however, get blisters in my mouth sometimes when I eat sweets & certain foods(junk food) so the HSV1 exposure  I believe is contained in my mouth.....HSV2 I have no outbreaks however I do sometimes experience mild irration I have been cleaning my gential area only with olive leaf bar soaf I am a female.... any advice would be helpful.....just wondered if I should be retested i am paying 4 test out of pocket...

You'll need to find a provider that is willing to get you the WB then. The WB can be performed though Quest labs.
