NEED HELP INTERPRETING IGG TEST RESULTS PLEASE!!!

I had an unprotected encounter with a girl i've known for years who was married.  She assured me she had been tested for everything and had nothing.  She ended up having a UTI/Yeast infection the next day and I got a bad penile yeast infection 2 weeks later which was diagnosed by a dermatologist.  I had a rash, no pain, some red bumps and odor etc.  Here are the results of my tests.  What I am most concerned about is the seroconversion of HSV1.  Thank you in advance.

2.5 Weeks from Exposure - Sunrise labs Type Specific HSV IGG
HSV1 IGG = .1 Negative
HSV2 IGG = .1 Negative
HSV1/2 IGM = .28 Negative

11 Weeks from Exposure - Enzo Labs Type Specific HSV IGG
HSV1 IGG = .5 Negative
HSV2 IGG = <.2 Negative

I'm not getting any response on the experts forum.  Does anyone have any insight on this?  I really just want to know if i can trust my 11 week test.  My doctors say yes, but the constant burning is making it hard to ignore.  Does the IGM negative lower my odds??

Btw, I am well aware that IGM is a faulty test DUE TO FALSE POSITIVES from past infections like chicken pox and mono or cross reaction with IGG, however, i have studied and read (including a post from Dr. HHH) that a negative is still a good sign as false negatives are far less common in the presence of negative IGG tests.
