If you've tested negative at 13 weeks, your negative. The only way it would take longer to produce antibodies is if you have an auto-immune disorder, have been an IV drug user, or are on chemo or immune suppresent therepy. You can test at 6 months, but it would only be for peace of mind, not becuase you have to. Having HSV 2 is no big deal, most people have been exposed to herpes at some point in there life. If you are having pain, go see a doctor, but it's not related to HIV.
