Can Dengue infection cause delayed seroconversion HIV/HSV

Hey after 14 weeks of possible encounter i got infected with Dengue virus... took 3 weeks to fully recover and feel fit.

can this delay seroconversion or window period for testing.
my tests

11 Week -  full STD Panel including herpes 1/2 - all Negative
17 Week - same panel... all negative except - Herpes 1/2 IGM positive with index 1.44
18 Week - Herpes panel
HSV 1 Igm - 0.08
HSV1 Igg 0.22
HSV2 Igm - <0.5
HSV2 Igg - 0.33

please advice are my tests conclusive so far??... or do i need to retest if yes which tests and when??

i hv some very mild symptoms... white tongue for two months... muscle pain for 2 weeks in between...no sores till yet... some rashes on back

got checked with a dermatologist and STD expert he thinks im fine.
