another test interpretation

WTG
I've been reading quite a bit of the Q&A's here but just need to hear it for myself....bottom line:  Zero symptoms, took the HerpeSelect test online, <.91 value for HSV 1 and a 2.64 Value for HSV 2 (range for both is .90), again...there are zero symptoms here and I'm surprised about the HSV 2 results with zero symptoms after a month.  From what I've read here, that's a low result, especially with the HSV 1 number.  Worth the retest, or is this conclusive?

definitely worth retesting.

why did you get tested? how long after you had last had sex did you get the blood test done?
