anxious for years about possible hsv2 exposure

in 2007 after 3 months of dating my partner got tested for HSV1&HSV2 ( I am not sure of the specific IGG numbers) but the HSV1 was + and HSV2 was negative, we ended our relationship 4 months after that and did not sleep together again. 2 years later he tested +HSV2 after stating he had 3-4 other parter within that time and only got tested again because one his partner had a severe herpes outbreak. Flash forward to 10 years later, I have had no symptoms or out breaks and trust me I have been diligently keeping and eye out, have had multiple stressful events including 4 surgeries and my current partner of 6 years has never had a symptom....is it safe to say that his test in 2007 was reliable at 3 months? Or do you suggest I get tested even though I have never had a symptom. I only ask this because I plan to become pregnant in the next couple years
Thanks!

Not knowing the type of testing he had, I can't say for sure, but probably.

In any case, why don't you test for yourself? That's the only way to know you don't have it, from him or anyone else. Since you are planning to get pregnant in the next couple of years, testing is a good idea. If you do have it (and it sounds unlikely), it's entirely possible to have a healthy pregnancy and vaginal delivery.
