IgM and IgG tests negatives
My IgM and IgG results are both negative, but I read that IgM is not reliable. Is there still a probability that I might have contracted herpes ?

Disregard the IgM, and you'll have to test with the IgG again in a few months to find out if you got it.
I wouldn't be overly worried if you don't get symptoms, but if it makes you feel better, then test again.

Also, I didn't ask the physician: it was one of these quick 'anonymous' providers.

What time frame did you test in? How long after possible exposure?
