My Igg results at three months mark

Hello experts,
My HSV 1 and 2 Igg results at three months are:

HSV-1 (Herpes Simplex Virus-1) IgG               Positive(2.90)
(Serum,EIA)


HSV-2 (Herpes Simplex Virus-2) IgG               Negative(0.07)
(Serum,EIA)

I read somewhere that the sero-conversion period for a secondary HSV infection could be more than 4 months. Should I take the test again after 4 months mark? What is the percentage of HSV 2 being a false negative because of my primary infection HSV 1?

Thanks

It is posible to take longer than 3 months but it's rare. I personally wouldn't retest.
