HELP! Really need some feedback.

Hello,

So I have to admit that i was super negligent TWO times with TWO different people.  Here's the breakdown:

*May 19th - Unprotected anal sex (ejaculation inside) with a man I was seeing.  We were both wasted but he assured me he had no STDs.
*June 3rd - Unprotected sex TWICE with an ex.  He knew of the May 19th fling and, in the heat of the moment, disregarded my paranoia about my previous encounter and proceeded to have sex with me.
*June 14th - Brief less than 5 minute unprotected sex with the same ex.  It didn't feel right so we stopped.

TODAY - July 24th
I received my STD results:
HSV2 - Negative
HIV - Negative

After doing much research on this forum, the docs have said that an HIV test at 6-8 weeks is pretty conclusive.  It's been 8 weeks since my May 19th encounter and 7  weeks since my June 4th encounter.  How reliable are these results?  The docs have also said that negative results for HSV 2 and HIV at 6-8 weeks is a pretty good indicator of the results to be expected at the 3+ month mark.  Should I be relieved for now or not until I test at the 3 month mark for both encounters?

Any thoughts anyone?

Thank you!  I think I feel pretty confident about the HIV results so far but I know with HSV2 is different.  Have you known of cases such as mine that would turn positive at the 3 month mark?  I'm supposed to go for a second follow up on August 14th (3 month mark for the first encounter and 2 month mark for the second).

Please advise.
