Confused, Please Help

Alright I've been diagnosed with type II herpes via a culture swab of one single spot on the base of my penis.  However, it does not show any of the symptoms typical of an infection/breakout.  It doesn't burn or itch and has not expelled anything unless squeezed very forcibly and then it's only blood.  I've had two blood tests saying I don't have it and a second culture swab done that also came up negative for the infection.  I got tested two years ago and came up clean and afterword I began a two year long sexually active relationship where she was a virgin and we have both been faithful.  She has also been tested and she is completely clean of infection.  So I'm holding onto the chance that the original swab test was incorrect in it's diagnosis of herpes simplex virus.
I've also been tested since for all other STD s and they have all come up negative.
Please has anyone had an issue similar to mine?  What are the chances that the swab culture test was wrong?
I desperately need to know what is going on with my body.

there is a small percentage of people who won't test accurately on the blood tests we currently have. lesion cultures of active symptoms is how we diagnose them.  

at this point your options are to wait for a return of new symptoms and repeat your lesion culture within 48 hours of their appearance, preferably pcr testing. You can also try getting a herpes WB blood test to see if that detects your hsv2 infection also to confirm it.  To be honest, we don't doubt lesion cultures that are +. Clerical error is usually the only reason they are wrong. the only other option is to do daily pcr swabbing of your anogenital area for 1-2 months to see if hsv2 is detected during that time. Best way to set that up is through Terri Warren's clinic ( our herpes expert here on medhelp ) or through the U of washington lab by your provider. they both know how to do it as cheaply as possible for you.
