I am confused with my hsv-2 antibodies results

[popovicjoleee]

Hi, all. Recently I was tested against herpes and my results were 19.8U/mL Igg and 18.6U/mL Igm (positives are above 20 U/mL) really high.
My doctor told me that everyone has these antibodies and that I don't have herpes.
I am really confused because every article I read online says that just presence of this antibodies means that you were infected in some period.
Also I have some strange symptoms, like burning, tingling nerves in my legs, eyes, arms and I am really concerned. 
So my question would be is it true that everybody has hsv-2 antibodies and what my results really mean? 
Am I infected and could I infect someone? Should I retest?
Thank you in advance.

IgG and IgM tests are well known to have false negatives/positives. To get a definitive result, get a Western Blot, the gold standard when it comes to herpes blood testing. Here's an article on that: https://www.herpesopportunity.com/post/herpes-tests

That said, if you do indeed have HSV-2 antibodies, it would mean that you have been exposed to the virus. We don't get antibodies to a virus unless we've been exposed. And if you do have antibodies, that does mean you could be silently shedding the virus (generally from on or around the area where your initial infection occurred).
