A member asked:
If you have low iron is it possible to be mis diagnosed for herpes because of low iron?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Shouldn't: The herpes test checks for dna, so if it's present, it is there. That is assuming, of course, that the doctor did the test to check; if you are concerned about misdiagnosis, seek another opinion and exam.
