If i get a blood test for cancer will it show that i have herpes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Blood tests for cancer are at best adjuncts. A different, notoriously unreliable test is sometimes used for the diagnosis of herpes, which is better made clinically. It sounds like a troubling time for you, and you have my sympathy. Be brave.
