Should i retest?

So i received protected and unprotected oral sex off a CSW in bali and a little bit of protected intercourse , i have had no visible blisters or sores and i got a igG type specific blood test exactly 10 months post exposure and results came not detected for type 1 and type 2 and said there is no serological evidence of infection with either type on the test, should i retest later or is this test at 10 months post definitive and conclusive

Im not sure what you asking any more, you tested negative and if you dont trust the test have another one. To keep asking the same questions is not getting us anywhere.

i have just recently has some dots like things on my shaft and a burning sensation on my testicals the dots about three very tiny spaced apart they dont hurt i went to the doctor and he examined and said that they dont look like herpes blisters or herpes related so with that i have had :
negative igG - type 1 & 2 - 10 months post exposure
2 doctors opinions saying that it is unlikely that i have herpes
1 doctor saying i wouldnt have gotten it from 11 months ago with negative results and no primary infection
and 1 doctors opinion the symptoms are not herpes related
what are the chances that its just fungal infection and not herpes
dont know what to do or think? opinions would really be appreciated

You had a very good test and you can trust the results. False negatives are most often from a swab culture not a blood test.
