No, you don't need to retest.
What was your risk? Have you had symptoms?
A herpes test is conclusive at 3 months, so I don't know why you are testing at 6 months.
If you are getting symptoms, get those cultured. Stop blood testing. You don't need any more blood testing.

I had unprotected vaginal and received oral sex with a married girl but she has 4 to 5 sex partner so I tested std panel 3 times I don't have any symptoms but why my 3 month herpes 1 igg nagative report turned in to borderline in 6 month test i did not involved any sexual activity in 6 month so any possibility of false lab test? can I believe other test(hiv,hsbag,hcv,siphils) from same laboratory please tell me I confused
You can trust all of them. I can't speak to the accuracy of the lab, but I'm sure they are fine.
It's not uncommon to get a false result on a herpes test. Ignore it. You had 3 negative tests, and antibodies develop by 12 weeks. If you had it, your 3 month test would have shown it.
It's all conclusive, all reliable. Let it go. Having 4 or 5 sex partners isn't even a lot, medically speaking.
If you can't let this go, please get help for your anxiety. I advised you to do that with your previous posts about the vacutainer. Have you done that?
You need to address the real issue here, which is anxiety, and not STDs. I say that with compassion, not judgement.

Yes, you can move forward. Kiss your wife, have sex with her.
The HSV1 test misses 30% of infections. 67% of people under 50 have hsv1 globally. Chances are good that you have it, and have had it since childhood, and the test has missed it, or your wife has it, and doesn't know it.
Most people with oral hsv1 never get symptoms. It's not worth worrying about.
