          Evaluation for HERP G2
          This assay is type specific and will differentiate between HSV-1 and HSV-2 infections.
          A single positive result only indicates previous immunologic exposure and the level of
          antibody response may not be used to determine active infection or disease stage.
          The test should be repeated in 4-6 weeks when negative or equivocal results are obtained
          in suspected early Herpes Simplex disease.
          The performance of this assay has not been established for pediatric populations, for neonatal
          screening, or for the testing of immunocompromised patients.
          Evaluation for HERP M1:
          0.900 or  = Positive
          Evaluation for HSVMSCR:
          REFERENCE RANGE:  NOT DETECTED
          Evalauation for HSVM TR:
          REFERENCE RANGE:  <1:10
          This test does not distinguish between HSV 1 and HSV 2. A positive HSV
          IgM may indicate primary or reactivated infection. IgM antibody can persist
          12+ months after primary infection. Cross reactions occur with varicella zoster,
          CMV and EBV. Herpes Simplex Virus 1 and 2 IgG, type specific antibody
          (HerpeSelect), helps confirm and differentiate prior infection with HSV 1 or HSV 2.

So PLEASE if anyone understands this to help me out it would be much appreciated as I havent got a clue!
