I think my doctor screwed up my results

I just learned that my blood test for herpes came back negative but the swab came back as Exposed to  Hsv 1 >16.60 and

 Hsv 2 >2.27. What does this mean the doctor never discussed this with me. Do I have herpes or not. I’m reading that everybody has been exposed so is exposed the same as got it or maybe I’m confused. I just wish there was somewhere I can find the numbers and info. I’m getting tested again to make sure. I do have a recurring bump but it’s not a cluster it’s like when moist build up from friction that’s what I think but I’m getting retested

    If your hsv 2 is 2.27 is considered positive and no true nor everyone’s expose to herpes. Most people do have hsv1 about 70% but hsv1 is not an std but it could be by performing oral sex. Hsv2 is an std

      It’s say anything under 1.1 is negative and over 3.5 is positive and anything in between can be a false positive

      It’s a false positive , sorry i know some ratio numbers are different in every lab. But get the western blot for herpes 1/2 it’s 99.9 accurate
