She's Positive, He's Negative

Please Help!
Retests:
I received labs today: HSV1/HSV2 IgG, positive for both
HSV-1 AB:  726 IU/mL  (range >120) Positive
HSV-2 AB:  166 IU/mL (range>120) Positive

My husband tested as well: HSV1/HSV2 IgG, positive for HSV1, negative for HSV2
HSV-1 AB: 871 IU/mL (range >120) Positive
HSV-2 AB: 87 (range <100) Negative

We've been married 7 yrs, together 10 years. I was married before for 8 years with 2 adult sons now. My current husband had an affair June 2012 (only admits to oral sex); He gave me his STD tests that reflect he was negative in July 2012 for HSV2, positive for HSV1. I just found this out October and got my first test done 10/8/12 with results of:  HSV-1 AB: 662 IU and HSV-2 AB: 157 IU - still positive!!

Before the above retest, I thought he had given me oral and genital herpes because of his negative labs in July. I was told I had to have been recently infected since his test was negative, but 4 months have passed since his alleged affair in June and he still tests negative AND I'm testing positive. How is this possible?

If herpes was dormant in me, wouldn't he test positive too... we've had continuous sex...oral, vaginal, and sometimes anal - How is this possible? Since, I'm a low-positive I plan on retesting with Western Blot or the Biokit, I just don't want this to be true....plus I have suffered from chronic Urticaria for 3 years and H. Pylori so I thought maybe the IgG antibodies are responding to that... Please advise.
