With an HSV 1 value of 40, it is possible that there is some cross reactivity with HSV 2 here and there is a good chance that your HSV 2 is a false positive. I would strongly recommend getting the western blot. You can work with UW and your own provider to get this test or work with me if you wish. But you need a better test to sort this out completely
