HSV: The test results suggest prior exposure to HSV (sexual OR non-sexual type) but no active infection at this time.

Can't tell HSV1 vs 2: Your doctor is mistaken: you do have HSV. However, the HSV 1/2 test does not distinguish between HSV1 (usuallly oral) and HSV2 (almost always genital and always an STD). In India, most people have HSV1 by age 20, usually acquired in childhood, so that's the likely explanation. But you could also have HSV2. You need a truly type specific blood test to tell whether you have HSV1, HSV2, or both.
