Well, it is worrisome that the doctor thought they could be herpes. But I still think something there for six weeks, with your experience, is very unlikely to be herpes. And good the test was negative, though not definitive. And a little worrisome that the woman does have herpes for certain.
I think it would be best to wait the 16 weeks for a final test result. If you happen to have herpes, which I seriously doubt, you would be most infectious in the first six months, and that’s not a great way to start off a new relationship, right? Most people who are going to serconvert will do so in 12 weeks but some do take longer. If you want to test again at 12 weeks, that would certainly be useful information. You could discuss this whole thing with the new partner and see what they think. It might also be good if they’ve not been tested to get tested so everyone knows where they currently actually stand
