Hello, i tested negative for herpes 1 & 2-spec ab, igg w/rfx at 9.5 weeks after exposure with no symptoms. could i be reassured i am negative? and which tests should i order that would be the most accurate within my timeframe ? thank you?

People with no symptoms generally should not have HSV blood test, which are often inaccurate anyway. With no symptoms and negative result at 9+ weeks, it is very unlikely you have it. But if you insist on a maximally reliable test, have the same test again at 12 weeks or more after exposure.
