negative test at 5 months is pretty much 100% certain.  rare possibilities of people never showing up on tests, but other explanations are more likely....such as not herpes.  alfie is right, get a swab done no more than two days after a new sore appears, that's the only sure thing.  but more so, stop worrying about herpes, you don't have it.

Well if you have negative bloods the only other options is to swab the infected area. If that is negative then you need to accept you dont have herpes.

Which is highly likely since u have negative bloods anyway.

Sometimes u gotta listen to your docs.

There are plenty of other reasons u could have issues down there. Not just herpes.
