3 negative tests with no symptoms

I slept with a partner, unprotected 4 times, until he told me he had hsv2.  He claimed to not know, I had us both tested, but I'm not sure he is trustworthy.  I freaked out, got tested right away.  Too soon, I know.  Negative for both 1 and 2 with herpeselect IgG.  I went to be seen by a gynocologist 2 weeks later, was diagnosed with BV.  She told me I did not have herpes.  Got tested, again, 28 days after possible exposure.  Both negative again.  Was seen again by another gynocologist about 2 weeks after the first visit to get my paragard removed, she saw nothing to suggest herpes.  One week later, was seen by another gynocologist, treated for a yeast infection and was told there was nothing to suggest herpes (cervix, vagina, vulva, etc).  My BV came back one last time, seen by my gynocologist and again, nothing to suggest herpes.  She said I wouldn't need any further IgG testing done.  Spoke with my doctor about my worries and he let me get tested again.  This last herpeselect IgG was at 10 weeks and 5 days after last potential exposure. Both negative.
Is it safe to assume I actually do not have herpes after all these doctor's visits and tests, as well as no symptoms?  I do suffer from anxiety and just want to know I am being a little overly anxious, if I am.

No symptoms and a negative test at 10.5 weeks is very solid evidence against you having hsv.

I think if you had it, you would have defiantly had it by now. I thought I had an std after an event. My mind started playing tricks just cause my anxiety was telling me I had something. I felt burning and went to the doctor and he said I was fine. The burning went away right as I left the doctor. I would think about it again and the burning would come back. Got tested and saw the negative and the burning went away right there. Thought about it again and started thinking I had symptoms but again at 12 weeks nothing on my blood test and my symptoms went away. The Internet can scare you and you will see a lot people will say Google herpes and it causes this and that. Well Google cancer or AIDS and most of Those symptoms will appear there also.  I think a lot of us need to get out our heads and step away from the Internet. Good luck I think your fine.

I gurrentee you, you dont have it, i to as a male (whole different perspective) suffer from anxiety and fortunately had protected sex with a girl who never told me she had genitial herpes, As she didnt tell me i noticed mild itching and noticed a few tiny pinhead sized bumps , i went to get checked out they said it wasnt herpes they gave me some itch cream after i still had itching and discomfort so i went to get checked , i got checked for the pinhead sized bumps about 5 times i got tested for chlymedia gonorea syphilis and hiv over 3times , because of my anxiety. Although im still dealing with the pinhead bumps im no longer worried about the other diseases i believe you are fine and were just like me scared and worried to death about contracting something over time you will learn to forget and learn from this goodluck! And relax!!
