[Question #13105] Help with HSV 1 IgG, Type Spec & HSV 2 IgG, Type Spec Test Results

Hoping for clarification on my test results. I went to my PCP 1/5/25, with pain & redness that keeps re-appearing in the same spot every few weeks where I urinate (vagina) for past 8 months. Urinalysis - results BLD 5 rbc, BIL neg, URO norm, KET 10 mg, PRO neg, NIT net, GLU neg, pH 5.0, SG 1.025, LEU neg, COL It yellow, CLA clear. Dr did a quick visual exam & said it was Genital Herpes. I requested confirmation testing. Dr ordered a HSV 1 & 2 Ab, IgG blood test. I received the results today. HSV 1 IgG, Type Spec Val "Non Reactive" Ref Range "Non Reactive". HSV 2 IgG, Type Spec Val "Reactive A”, Ref. Range "Non Reactive". Nurse called & said that I was positive for HSV 2. I asked her to explain - why did the Range say "Non Reactive” & not a numerical # (noting I believed that was contradictory). Nurse couldn't answer my question & said she needed to speak to the Dr., she wasn't sure if they had scrolled to the right on the test results to see the "Non Reactive" on test range. Have you seen this before?
