Hi!
welcome to HCM!
Test report indicates HSV.IgG reactive and HSV.IgM non reactive that means HSV.IgG IS POSITIVE while HSV.IgM is negative .The presence of IgG antibodies but not IgM antibodies indicates a history of past exposure to the HSV.virus and indicates that the person tested that is you are immune to the HSV..So nothing to worry.
Take care!
