A member asked:

Might a virus be found in a standard full blood test?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No.: Blood tests for viruses are special, expensive, and carefully handled. They would not be a routine part of blood testing, unless your illness or checkup determined it was necessary. Your provider would have to order it specially. Good luck!
