NEED HELP UNDERSTANDING RESULTS

Just received my results today

Herpes 1- "<0.01"
Herpes 2- "0.13"

and then at the bottom is says
"Equivocal repeated on duplicate, please retest within 4-6 weeks"

what does that mean?

no idea. you'll have to call the lab or your doctor and ask specifically why that was put there.  none of your test results are equivocal so it makes no sense.
