A member asked:
If i have symptoms of herpes at 2 months from exposure, would it be likely that a blood test would come back positive?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If you have visible lesions that could be herpes, examining the a swab of the lesion for Herpes DNA would be a better test than than a blood test.
