Yes, a very few people can have a negative antibody test and still be infected. However, given that they swabbed you with absolutely no symptoms (which of course was an error as you know), the possibility of a false positive or mixed up samples is still present. Also, the antibody test misses about 1-2 of 10 infections with HSV 1, so that could also be going on. If the test misses it once, it tends to miss it every time. If you want to absolutely rule out HSV 1 infection you will need a western blot from the University of Washington.
So hard to know if the tingling has anything to do with herpes or not. That could be many things are you know from disc issues to MS, big wide range of things that could cause that. If you obtain a western blot and are still negative for both, I would chalk the tingling up to either over observance of body symptoms or something completely different than herpes.
I can understand why this must be a confusing situation for you!
