A member asked:

Can olive leaf or lysine affect herpes blood test results?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Herpes simplex antibody test results should not be affected by any foods, drinks, or over-the-counter supplements in the U.S. If the herpes antibodies are present in high enough amounts, the blood tests should show positive results.
