The testing for herpes should occur when you have a suspected outbreak. Any earlier and the results will simply be inconclusive.

Can you be tested and the test is negative for herpes and still have it?
I believe that herpes can only be tested for by swabbing the lesion. There is no blood test for herpes according to my Dr. So, therefore, all blood will come back negative for herpes. Regardless of the true status of the testee. There is of course a blood test for herpes. Herpes is a viral infection in your blood streamso obviously, a blood test would be able to tell you if you have the virus or not. I'm not sure how long/soon after possible contact you should get a blood test that will give you an accurate reading but there are two ways to test if you have herpes: 1. If you have something that looks like a possible herpes outbreak then you can go to your Doctor and have him or her take a test swab. He or she will look at it under a microscope and can determine if it is herpes. Or2. Get your blood drawn and ask your Doctor to test specifically for herpes. It takes about 5-6 days to receive the verdict but I'd trust a blood test over anything.Good Luck!

My Partner Says I Gave Him Herpes But We Was Only Kissing Now He's Saying That He's Lips Is Burning. Do He Really Got Herpes?
He needs to have a blood test to determine. If you were "only kissing", and you have herpes, then it is very possible that the virus was transfered to him. "Burning lips" does not constitute a diagnosis of herpes though. There are other symptoms associated with the virus such as blisters. Go to a doctor, get tested.

How soon after an occupational exposure should health care worker be tested?
It depends on the type of exposure and the standard testing guidelines in use at that time. Workers would be tested "as soon as possible" but within the standard testing guidelines. For example, the test for HIV-AIDS must give time for the virus to establish itself and the body to respond to the virus. So there is no immediate or rapid test. Scientists work to decrease the amount of time between exposure and test, but they can't create such a test if the pathogen needs time to develop and the body needs time to respond.
