i don't know the accuracy or even the type of tests that you had. this may be question for the lab or the medical provider who ordered them. there are many people have had sex with a herpes infected partner who have not contracted the disease. i suspect your 20 second encounter was a "missed bullet" and that you did not get herpes but that is just a guess based on what you have shared.
should three negative herpes test be accurate? . i had a brief unprotected sexual encounter about 20 seconds. started feeling funny in the boxer short area and tested for everything. all came back negative. i tested three times for hsv2 at week 6 12 28 post sexual encounter returning negative results. are my test accurat by now? my friend say she tested positive in february of 2013. my last test was done february 11 2013 and came back negative.
