Hello, i have a question about std testing results. i wanted to know how accurate my herpes testing was?

Limitations: The blood tests indicate past exposure to type 1 (usually oral) or type 2 (usually genital) but do not tell you where or when. They will also not turn positive for 2 or 3 months if exposure is recent.
