Herpes serum test

Is it possible to get a false negative for HSV 1 and HSV 2? I have tested postitive and this is the only person that could have given it too me. He had shared with before his tests that his ex girlfriend had it . I think he is a carrier and has not tested positive. I want to clear up all of the confusion so that I can go on with my life, since I cannot change the fact that I have it.

yes I have had other sex partners, and used condoms with them. I had a viral culture on a sore, it turned out to be HSV 2.
What would be the proper test?

have you ever had other sex partners?

How were you tested? do you have hsv1 or hsv2?

There's no such thing as just a carrier. If your partner was infected and was properly tested, hsv2 would show up.
