Thanks to the Teri!
I got back the inhibition ia result and this is what city md sent me-
The HSV-2 IgG screening assay was repeated on a different platform as part of the inhibition test,
and the result was negative; thus the Inhibition result could not be determined. Most samples exhibiting this type of discrepancy have initial HSV-2 IgG index values of 1.10–3.00. If early HSV-2 infection is suspected, submission of another sample collected 2–3 weeks after this sample is recommended.

This assay is intended only for samples giving a positive index in the HSV-2 type-specific IgG screening assay. A POSITIVE inhibition interpretation indicates true HSV-2 specific reactivity, whereas a NEGATIVE inhibition interpretation suggests that the positive screening index is falsely positive.

So I was told this means that it’s now negative (i was confused at first cause it said result is negative thus the result can’t be determined but I think it just mean that they re-did the test some better way and it showed it was negatives so you can’t do the inhibition part)
Is this reliable that before it was a low positive (twice) and now (by the inhibition assay) it’s showing it’s negative?
Also, from the last encounter (the handjob I got) was 6 weeks before the test, so is 6 weeks usually enough time for an accurate result cause they were saying that if you had early exposure I could have a false negative but I read online that 6 weeks is like 99% accurate so I just wanted to make sure?
If not do you think I should re-test or taken the western blot or you really think since I had little exposure and it wouldn’t be common to spread from the hand job that I got that there’s no reason to re-test and I can assume that it’s completely negative?
The last time I actually had sex it was with a condom and was a little over 7 months ago so I would assume the test would definitely be accurate for that time
Thanks
