You are negative. Apparently, for reasons unclear, they first ran a combined IgG test for HSV 1 and 2 which I’ve not seen anyone use in many years. They they asked for the type specific tests, both of which were negative.
The combined test has been known to have false positives and most providers have totally stopped using it.
