Do I need to test again

Hey guys I got unprotected oral sex from a girl about a 3 months ago this date.
I was tested at 5 weeks with an Igg specific test,negative
then again at two days short of ten week mark,same test negative. The test was by Labcorps,and they said their test at that time frame was like 98.something accurate.
I ve OCD about illness sadly.At the current moment I ve no actual symptoms of an outbreak.Grace said I do not need to worry because I had not had an actuall obvious OB by now but do you think I need to test one more time. What does she mean by obvious btw

Thank you I will but the reason why you say no more testing it is becasue I had two tests and plus I am having no symptoms?

As grace stated, no need for more testing. You had the proper test and need to believe your results.

You should get tested with a western blot. It's the HSV gold standard.
