What lab was used to run your test? It was not done by the Herpeselect; I’m guessing maybe LabCorp?
Unfortunately, it looks like a strong positive so I don’t think confirmatory testing will change the picture or you. The numbers at this point cannot tell you anything about how long you have had this – it could be this summer or much longer ago. So your regular partner is vulnerable to acquiring HSV 2 from you. It is likely that you have not had recognized outbreaks because you have a robust HSV 1 antibody response that has likely keep you asymptomatic.
Is it at all possible to get this other person tested? If he is negative for HSV 2, then you’ve had this for at least 17 years, assuming you’ve had no other partners, and it is unlikely that your regular partner will all of a sudden get HSV 2 from you, though it is possible.
