Question about HSV 1 result

I have been diagnosed with HSV 1 since 24, I'm 37 now. No real outbreak in life something I probably had since a child.  Every year I get a wellness check up my results score is always HSV 1 igg AB 5.00.  Is there a reason it always say 5.00

Or it could be that the lab you use stops running the test at 5, when it's clear you are positive.

It doesn't mean much except you are definitely positive.

I agree with biology - no reason to look for reasons to scare yourself.

Not necessarily of any medical significant reason. Don't find reasons to scare yourself
