It means that you may have had some skin to skin contact with some one that has herpes (ie kissing some one with a cold sore which is oral herpes or having intercourse with some one that has genital herpes) but you didn't contract it.
You're not always doomed to get herpes if you happen to have sex with some one that has it, or if you kiss some one while they have a cold sore. But there is a higher risk of contracting it if you were exposed to herpes while some one was having any symptoms or a break out.

If you have herpes or have had the chickenpox does that mean that you are CMV positive?
No, cytomegalovirus is a separate virus from Varicella Zoster virus (the one that causes chickenpox) and herpes simplex virus (which causes genital herpes and cold sores and related illnesses). It is possible to have all three at the same time, but they are separate viruses and if you have herpes or have had the chickenpox, it does not mean that you are CMV positive.
