.
Hard to say since you’ve had an unprotected sexual encounter quite recently

2. I’ve had COVID-19 and received the vaccines. Could those antibodies cause a positive result? I read an article about a study.
While that’s possible, we’ve seen false positive on the herpes IgG test way before we ever had COVID.

3. Should I wait longer before being tested again, or ask for the WB test on 7/17?
You should wait 3 months from any unprotected intercourse to get the western blot done.

4. Is cross-reactivity a possibility?
Definitely
