Blood test results say herpes ab type 1 igg: 0.10 and herpes type 2 igg: 0.23 if i'm negative why aren't the numbers 0 why are they 0.10 and 0.23?

Normal range: Our immune system is working all the time and making Igs (immunoglobulins) some of which cross react with many antigens including some Herpes molecules used in the test itself: that is the normal baseline or reference range
