You have HSV1, as are up do about half of all adults in the US -- so no surprise there. Your HSV2 result of 2.41 is technically positive, but only results 3.5 or higher are conclusively positive. With a value of 2.41, there's a 50% chance you have it. Speak with your doctor (or ideally an infectious diseases specialist) about having an HSV Western blot, the gold standard for HSV antibody testing.
