It would say you are unlikely to become positive in the next month, yes.
Those test results would indicate that she is newly infected with herpes.

would you say getting another herpes test is unnecessary? That it is unlikely that since i was tested 3 months after contact and it was negative that i probably dont have HSV II? Also, what do you mean by "However, if her provider did an antibody test and a swab test and the swab test was positive and the antibody test negative, then there are lots more questions than answers here. "
The antibody test will pick up infection, regardless of symptoms or not. The IgG test for HSV 2 is about 97-98% sensitive (that is, out of 100 cases it will pick up 97 to 98 of them, if you wait long enough after infection to be tested (that is, about 4 months). It will pick up about 91% of those infected with HSV 1. So you have a little time to wait, but I would say, the chances of showing up positive now are very small. I would also say the chances of you infecting her are very small, given to above percentages. It is certainly more likely that your previous partner was infected with herpes and didn't know it. However, if her provider did an antibody test and a swab test and the swab test was positive and the antibody test negative, then there are lots more questions than answers here.
