Should I consider 6 weeks negative results conclusive?
I went through stdcheck.com after 6 weeks I had sex with a new partner and the results came back negative. Is IGG herpes test conclusive after 6 weeks and is RPR test for syphilis conclusive after 6 weeks?

Your syphilis test is conclusive.
At 6 weeks, your herpes IgG test is probably 70% accurate. If you haven't had any symptoms, I would take it and run. If you test again, there is a decent chance of a false positive, and unwinding that takes weeks and a lot of money, not to mention stress and anxiety.
If you've had symptoms, my advice might change. Also, did you use a condom?

Yes I used a condom and I don’t have any symptoms of herpes.
Then I'd consider it all conclusive. Your chances of getting herpes while using a condom are very low, and I probably would have advised you not to test for herpes in the first place since you used a condom.
If it were me, I'd call it good and consider it all conclusive and move on. :)
