Herpes Results Explanation?

Very confused by these results.  They are from a test run in 2003.  Just got my  medical records sent to me from over the years.   Can someone explain this contradiction?  These tests were done in the same lab on the exact same day.

Combo 1/2 IGM - Equivocal (1.03) ............... Equivocal = up to 1.09
Combo 1/2 IGG - Positive  (5.44) .......... Positive = Above 1.09

Type 1 IGG - Negative (0.72)  ............ Negative = Less than 0.91
Type 2 IGG - Negative (0.21)  ............ Negative = Less than 0.91

Regarding IGG:  How can I be positive (fairly high) for the combination 1/2, but negative for both 1 and 2 individually?

Thank you.

Can you clarify how that link answers my question?

Again the problem in my question is this:

How can I be positive (fairly high) for the combination 1/2 IGG, but negative for both 1 and 2 IGG individually?

My question doesn't relate to IGM at all.
