once again, you need to follow up on your test you had done with someone who is in your country and more familiar with it. It's not one we widely use in the US so I can't help you with the results. I am not familiar with the false negative issues etc with it or anything.  

no you won't get hsv1 from the scenario you described.

you had a test that isn't used widely in the US. You'll  need to follow up  on  it in your own area with someone who is more familiar with the test you had done.

your hsv2 igg is a low positive and needs further confirmation.
