What to do if positive culture but negative bloodwork for herpes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is herpes: If culture was positive it is Herpes infection and blood work will catch up with it. You are likely talking about genital herpes, if so, please note that you can pass it to your sexual partners even when there are no visible lesions. You ought to disclose your herpes infection to all your potential sex partners.
