Q: negative herpes test and negative hiv test 5 and half months after unprotected sex. should i retest at 6 months. i had several tests done since that night everything has been negative?

: People without symptoms usually should not be tested for herpes, unless definitely exposed to a known case. However, that result is as good as it can get after 3-4 months. For HIV, the current tests are conclusive after 6 weeks. Your negative results so far are conclusive for HIV -- don't have any more tests.
