Yes herpes can be detected in a blood test, if it's tested for to begin with. I belive it's called an ImG or IcG test, but you should ask your doctor about getting tested it. Also don't get the blood test done too early after being exposed to herpes, you should wait at least 6-8 weeks after being exposed. If you get tested too early you will only get false results which will only end up confusing you.

First, there are STDs for which there's no reliable test:There is no commerically available test to tell someone they don't have HPV. HPV can be diagnosed if a person has genital warts, or may be found during a cervical HPV test or biopsy, but there's no way to say that someone doesn't have HPV. The overwhelming majority of people who have sex have had HPV at some point in their lives.It is difficult to say that someone has or doesn't have genital herpes if they don't have symptoms. A blood test can tell you if you have antibodies to type 1 or type 2 herpes, but can't tell you if the infection is genital or found elsewhere.In addition, there are a few circumstances that might lead to a negative STD test when the STD is present.You can get tested too soon and you may not be able to tell what you have yet it would be too early to know.Tests are almost never 100% accurate. You shouldn't necessarily start doubting the tests but you should be tested regularly.

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!
