Greater than 5 is a good sign that you're actually infected, but I don't love not having your true index value.
Tiny papercut sores can be herpes, but how long do they last? If they don't last at least a week, they probably aren't herpes. You can get those cultured if they appear again.
Chances are excellent that if you do have herpes, you wouldn't infect anyone.
If you're male, and your partners are female, and all you do is avoid sex during symptoms, the chances of transmitting are about 10% a year, assuming a long-term, monogamous relationship with sex 2-3x a week.
If you add in daily antiviral use, that drops it down to about 5%, and when men use condoms with every single intercourse, transmission is reduced by 96% to an uninfected female.
So if you want to know your true index value, yes, get tested again. I'd suggest using either STDCheck - https://www.stdcheck.com/herpes-i-ii-test.php - or LetsGetChecked - https://www.letsgetchecked.com/home-herpes-test/
The tests are the same, so go with cost vs convenience - whichever matters to you. They both run specials all the time.
Keep me posted.
