It's rare to get a false positive for herpes with a blood test. You're more likely to get a false negative. If you're positive for herpes then you most likely have it. If you get a negative result the next time then you will only end up confusing your self. I know it's rough to get a positive result over a permanent infection and some people go into denial over it, but the sooner you accept it things will get better. You are not alone, millions of people have herpes, you can still have a normal and happy life if you want to.

Some people can have herpes with out displaying any signs or symptoms of it. I belive about 1/3 of people that were diagnosed with herpes, didn't have a clue that they had it because they never had any symptoms or break outs.

It's a free country, if you feel the need to get a second opinion then it's your choice.

If one parent is O positive, a B positive child is possible (the other parent would likely be B or AB and could be either positive or negative). If both parents are O positive, a B positive child is extremely unlikely (however, it occasionally happens that someone who THINKS they're O positive is actually something else, so before you start looking for a lawyer I'd have everyone's blood retested).

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!
