herpes inhibition question

[jj789463]

I tested positive for herpes on a hsv2 igg test (dont remember result, it was a low negative like 1.65 or something).  I wanted to get a confirmation so i got a herpes inhibition test Which was NEGATIVE.  The results said this:

"The HSV-2 IgG screening assay was repeated at
      Focus Diagnostics, and the result was not positive
      (i.e., the index was <1.10); thus, the inhibition
      study result could not be determined.
      This assay is intended only for samples giving a
      positive index in the HerpeSelect HSV-2
      type-specific IgG screening ELISA. A POSITIVE
      inhibition study interpretation indicates true
      HSV-2 specific reactivity, whereas a NEGATIVE
      inhibition study interpretation indicates that the
      positive screening index was falsely positive."

My question is this:  The website I ordered the test through said i should get retested because i had sex a 3 days before i got the blood drawn for this test.  Which was with a partner that i am confident is negative.  So, Im wondering if the having sex right before having this test down would hinder the results??  Or is the lab just trying the website trying to get more money out of me?

Also, Ive never had any symptoms or anything.  I got the test as a routine test after sex with someone just to keep my anxiety under control.  No real reason to perform the test.

Thanks for your help!

Sorry.  I said the wrong dates.  let me explain again.  I was tested in november with the IGG hsv2 test for a exposure in August.  before i had results i had sex again then got the results and 3 days after having sex had the inhibition test done.  everything else should be correct.

Also, my original exposure was in november.  Tested for the igg test in January.
