Positive hsv2 viral culture from lesion in april 2014. asymptomatic since, do not take meds, tested negative twice at 2 different labs for igg last week (more than 1 year later). what's my status?

NOT MAKING: SENSE, IT SEEMS ONE OF THE TEST LIKELY THE POSITIVE TEST WAS WRONG, OTHERWISE YOU SHOULD HAVE POSITIVE IGG.

HSV: HSV is known to go into latency, or remission, but although the immune response has quieted, the virus is still present in your body in a protected site and you can be subject to a recurrence. Be glad you are symptom free, but take note of any suggestion of recurrence early and get treated. If it was a vaginal lesion, be wary of vaginal birth as it may impact the child.
