I would say it is very likely that you are not infected. We ask that people wait 12 weeks to do the western blot and you waiting another month to retest is fine, though I suspect it will also be negative. I would have expected some increase over these 8 weeks if you were infected. However, the IgG test misses 8% of HSV 2 infections compared to the western blot
