Pregnancy Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV1/HSV2)

[AyoCodes]

OB Coders Rockstars I need your expertise in coding a pathology interpretation:
Patient Information: Pregnant @ 12 weeks gestation
Orders: HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUS (HSV1/HSV2), PCR, CSF OR SWAB
Interpretation/Results: Negative
ICD-10 Codes: This is what I'm leaning towards:

1. Z03.89 {Encounter for observation for other suspected disease and conditions ruled out;
2. O26.891 {Other specified pregnancy related conditions, first trimester;
3. Z3A.12 {12 weeks gestations of pregnancy

Your input is greatly appreciated

If the HSV test is negative, then do not code the pregnancy related condition. The other two are fine.
