Does this mean I have herpes?

I got tested and these are my results.  I don’t understand what this means. I’ve never had a herpes outbreak in my life.

    You probably picked it up as a young child?? Hsv1 is the oral one typically. I really wouldn’t worry it’s like 8 in 10 people have it or something mad like that. If you show no symptoms then nothing to worry about you’re just like the majority of other people in the world smile xx

    You have oral herpes 1 which is considered cold sores and not an std. probably had gotten it from when you was younger or someone who kissed yu and had an active cold sore but that’s normal it’s not an std lol but genital herpes 2 is which you don’t have
