The equivocal test can mean a couple of things:
1) yes, it could mean that you are in the process of making antibody and you are going from a negative value to a positiev one, and you had your blood drawn as you were passing through the equivocal range.
2) a more likely explanation is that you are actually already infected with HSV 1 and because the test is poor at picking it up (misses 10-20% of infections), the test is showing a slight reaction.
3) the other possibility is that you are completely negative for HSV 1 and the test is reacting to something else in your blood sample.
This does not look at all like a paper cut lesion that you read about.
