Is High Level Of Herpes I Ab And IgG To Be Concerned?

Hello, I just recently tested positive for HSV-2 during a normal routine doctor s visit with never having any signs or symptoms, let alone never recall ever having any sort of outbreak be it 1 or 2. My partner was tested also. His HSV-2 came back negative, however, I have a concern about his high levels for Herpes I Ab, IgG which had a level of 8.0. What does this mean?
