It's actually very much possible. Not everyone that has HSV1 has HSV2 and vice versa

Your HSV 2 result seems really high. Also it's possible to have HSV 2 without HSV 1, since they're different viruses you'll only contract what you come into contact with. Have you had any outbreaks?

Which test kit did they use? If HerpeSelect, that is a definite positive, and probably a relatively recent infection. Surprising you didn't have any symptoms.
