How accurate is a blood test after 2 weeks?

How accurate is a blood test after 2 weeks?

I know that waiting 4 months after any sexual contact yields the most accurate results when getting a blood test for HSV-2. But how accurate is the test, on average, if I wait 2 weeks? (Note: I don't have symptoms, we used a condom, and I don't know whether or not she has herpes.) I plan on getting tested again after 4 months for sure, but if anyone knows the stats/percentages on this, that would help my peace of mind!

it is barely accurate at 2 weeks post encounter. don't waist your time or money on testing for herpes at that point.
