I wonder if I should have a repeat test once again. I got my Herpes test results, and I came back negative blood test and positive culture on HSV2. Which is more accurate?

My symptoms don’t look like herpes, so I am certain that my penis never got any STDs. I just don't feel confident in the test results, because I had sex (oral, anal, and vaginal) with many partners. From what I know positive culture tests are pretty good evidence of HSV2, if not definite. I believe that herpeselect tests are very reliable test on the market. If you want another test to be certain of reliability, they you can do so and the culture is the confirmation of HSV2. Some people will never have an outbreak, but they are carriers of the virus not knowing they have it. I believe that a positive culture test is accurate.
