Culture + hsv-1 genital. blood test 3 wk later hsv-1: 2.21 hsv-2: >5.00. possible both are genital? higher antibodies in hsv-2 mean older infection?

Not necessarily: The bottom line is that you are infected with hsv and may experience herpes lesions in the genital area. If you do, you may wish to be on treatment that can reduce the recurrences. Tell all your sex partners of your hsv status.
