Hi. About A Year Ago, I Underwent A Test For

Hi. About a year ago, I underwent a test for HSV 1&2. The results are as follows:
HSV 1 IgG, Type Spec     2.65
HSV 2 IgG, Type Spec     1.43

I have never shown any symptoms that I am aware of. Very seldom do I have a small pimple in my public region, this happens roughly 1-2 times a year from what I've observed and usually during the summer. I have had chicken pox as a child. My question is, is it worth testing for HSV again using the Western Blot method to be sure? Or, do I have HSV 1&2?
