Definitive negative?
Back again, for the last time. I tested negative at 5 months post exposure, but not suprisingly I am still worried. I have noticed a red bump on my right knee 4 weeks ago that took some time to go away and another on my left knee that looked like a bug bite but now has an open sore with a little scab on it...
Could those be herpes or are they just bug bites? Do I have to wait 6 months to be sure or will 5 do it?

5 is plenty - no need to retest.
You could have your doctor culture or biopsy the spot and see what is causing it.
