Tested negative for herpes culture test but have symptoms, any other test that i can take that is more accurate? ive had a sore for over 4 months

Sore: most herpes sores would have resolved on their own by now, which suggests the sore may have a different cause. Consider a blood test for herpes (both HSV1 and HSV2), as well testing for syphilis (RPR), and other STIs like HIV and Hepatitis. Have a doctor examine the sore.
