Not everyone who has herpes transmits it. You have really consistently tested negative with no real change in the index values. By three weeks from infection, 50% of people will be positive by antibody test. If a person is negative for HSV 1, they will make antibody slightly more quickly than if they are positive for HSV 1. So basically, you still have a 50-50 chance of seroconverting, but I think it is slightly better than that because you are HSV 1 seronegative.
Are you still having sex with him? Are you still talking with him? If you are still talking with him, I think it might be interesting to know more about his test results to be certain he had the correct test done and that is not within the range needing confirmation. If he had the wrong test done or he had a low positive that did not confirm with another test, this would be good news for him, certainly but also for you so you wouldn’t have to worry about it anymore
Whether you are asymptomatic or not likely has little or no bearing on serconversion times though we don’t know that for certain.
Do you have other questions for me about this?
