About 8% of my results are indeterminate. But if your husband has been your only partner in 3 years and you have been his only partner, then a repeat test in 3 months isn’t going to give you any greater clarity because you are not in the process of seroconversion. Most often, you have an indeterminate because you have random protein, unrelated to herpes, that is showing up on the blot. In all my years of doing the blot, I have never seen anyone go from indeterminate to positive on the second draw IF they’ve waited 12 weeks from any concerning sexual encounter to do the test AND they’ve not taken an extended course or antiviral medicine right after acquiring new herpes.

I think you can say with reasonable confidence that you don’t have HSV 2
