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...

Hi,

thanks you for your response first time on forum I did notice after posting that it was in someone else's feed I aplogoize for that.

The WB blood test how do I get this type of test my doctor did not want 2 retest me he states that the results will most likely be + I went to a testing lab 4 the results that I listed in my earlier post.

No I do not have a regular partner I have been abstaining from sex since I got tested.

You said that they are cankers sores I have never experienced them b 4 getting tested for HSV so I assumed that it was from herpes....

you tried to post on someone else's post on Terri's forum and it will be removed from there. you have to pay to post there in your own post to get her help.

your hsv1 is +.

your hsv2 is also + but it's a low positive and needs further confirmatory testing.  we recommend a herpes WB blood test 4 months after the last time you had sex.

do you have a regular partner?

the sores inside your  mouth from sweets are canker sores. they aren't due to herpes.
