Valtrex does not cure herpes but i suppose if your viral load was very low the day you were tested - it could come up as a false negative.  Youshould have a discussion with a doctor who specializes in herpes treatment and bring the test results from both tests with you.  Unless you were misdiagnosed to begin with, I have no answers.  Talk to an expert with your test results on hand.
