Does genital herpes show up if …

Here’s the question:

I’ve got a question. Does genital herpes show up every time if you get bloodwork done?

Here’s what I think:

If you have a type specific herpes antibody test done each and every time, then yes, the antibodies will be picked up.

    I’ve never had it show up in a blood test and i’ve had it for 10 years. I could only think it might if you tell you Dr. what to look for.

    It has never happened to me.

    If you have had herpes for 10 years and can’t get it to show up on a blood test then you probably haven’t had the right tests done.

    Are you saying that you were diagnosed from having a herpes sore cultured? For people that don’t get sores that can be cultured there are type specific herpes antibody tests that can tell you if you have HSV-1, HSV-2, both or nothing at all.
