herpes of eye hiv?

I know you guys are gonna really kick me in the butt, but...

Well, It's been 90 days past my "scare."  Anyways, I've been having problems with my right eye lately and just got diagnosed with having Herpes Simplex of the eye.  I asked him what could have caused that, and he said that my immune system was probably compromised in some way that activated the virus in my eye.  As soon as I heared compromised immune system, I started freaking out.  

Anyways, my last was at 80 days past the incident, and it was negative.  Do you think I should back for more testing?

thank you.

An 80 day negative test isnt likely to switch positive on you. Go ahead and go back though so you can put it behind you.
