false negative herpes blood test well after six months?

[ughh1]

Around may of 2015 on a friday I got a swab for what was suspected hsv they gave me acyclovir, and around sunday I got told it was negative then on monday I went and got a blood test and that came back negative. I havent been with anuone expect my bf for around 18 months before I got tested. Is there any way I got a false negative? Doctor told me I shouldn't worry but its hard with all the stuff ive read.

Yes your fine and have oral hsv1 and most likey from childhood so dont worry about your genitals

I talked to a nurse and she said I came back positive for type 1 negative two and that the medicine I was taking wouldn't mess with the blood test and I asked her since I get them on my mouth does that mean my genitals were fine and the only thing she said was that if I get an ob to get them swabbed. So im a bit confused am I fine?

And shouldn't 18 months be long enough for my blood to turn positive?

I get cold sores im not entirely concerned about that. I've gotten them since I was about 12 if memory serves right.

Then there is a big chance that this is not herpes.

The only thing to eliminate here is HSV1. Your partner could still have it despite a negative test. I'd follow up with testing 12 weeks after symptoms appeared.

Overall this is all leaning toward your symptoms not being herpes.

He tested negative before we got together.

The best way to understand more is to have your partner test. This will indicate what is a risk (or not!)
