The IgG test detects chronic antibodies to HSV, not acute ones. You should have had an IgM test. 0.91 is the absolute lower limit of equivocal, meaning you probably do not have any longterm antibodies to HSV, but it doesn't give you any information about recent exposure. Get an IgM test -- and because the IgG was not definitive, I would repeat that as well.

It takes 12 weeks for conclusive HSV2 antibody testing. With no symptoms of a new HSV infection, most likely this has nothing to do with your recent sexual exposure, and most people with equivocal results are not infected. However, you could be seroconverting. Have another IgG test at 6 weeks, by which time 80% of newly infected persons are positve; and again at 12 weeks. IgM tests are unreliable
