herpes symptoms, test keep saying no?

Yes I've looked into aid, they all say I make too much which I don't understand since I don't even have a car payment yet barely make it each month.
I've read about other tests besides the standard STD herpes tests, but they all talk about only doing them as a follow up to a positive result from the standard test. I'm 180* to that, I keep getting negatives but feel they might be wrong. I was hoping there were other things that can look like herpes that I could look into possibly having.

I’m experiencing this exact same thing, I’ve had multiple blood tests that all say I’m HSV 1 and 2 negative. I went to a gyno but she said that she doesn’t believe it to be herpes. But the free STD STI clinic said that it looks like herpes and they’ve prescribed me herpes medication. Idk what to do and I’m scared to sleep with my SO, should I just take the medication for safe measure?

I think there are a few other conditions that can have similar symptoms...
"Noninfectious conditions that can mimic genital herpes include Reiter syndrome, contact dermatitis, Crohn disease, Behçet syndrome, trauma, erythema multiforme, and lichen planus."
