Test Result is a bit Confusing?

Sooo I know it's showing positive for HSV-1 , which in a way is very surprising but no big deal. WHY; Does it say Negative & Positive next to HSV-1 though? I know for HSV-2 it says Negative Negative. 

3 weeks ago I found out my Husband has had Genital HSV-2 for the past year, exposing me every time we had sex. Due to this I went and got a blood test. He was only Positive for HSV-2. I had a blood test 6 years ago, then 15 years ago. Both of those had been Negative for everything. Have never had a cold sore, Genital blisters (knock on wood). I will say I've had some really strange health issues the past few months, maybe they are related to oral HSV-1? never had a cavity, July I suddenly had a huge hole in a molar, August same thing. Back in June I woke up one am with eye pain, partial loss of vision, weird visuals, vomiting/passing out from the pain. Doctor said both optic nerves were really inflamed. Currently waiting to hear back from the doc, I requested they give me more information on what range of levels I had present in my blood.

Hello,

The first negative in the Ref. Range & Units column is because that is supposed to be the "Automatic result" or "Normal result".  So the negative is what the normal range is and your test came back positive.  So think of it has a table with three columns in it.

Hi! 

I think it's like the control sample result. Like on some COVID tests when you use them your sample first has a control test line and then your result line. I think that is what the first "Negative" may mean! 

Blessings! ❤️
