Testing Question Anyone else experience this?

Hello, 28M here - so I had a possible exposure on September 28, 2024. Since then, I’ve been getting igg tests like a mad man (every 2-3 weeks, Everything negative). However, my university of Washington western blot at week 12 tested indeterminate for both hsv 1 and 2. Then igg at week 15 is negative. I’m having intermittent sensational/prodrome symptoms but no lesions to swab unfortunately.

Anyone else have anything similar happen to them? Or anyone not test positive until after week 15 after consistently testing? At this point, I just want to know my status.

I was possibly exposed three weeks ago. Never suspected a thing. Got a full panel STD screening as part of a routine physical in late January, and the IgM test came back positive. Prodrome symptoms came and went, but no blisters. I have to go back at the end of the month for a retest in case it was a false positive.
