Is it useful to test for herpes? Blood tests for herpes do NOT predict outbreaks, & are NOT useful for routine screening. The majority of the population will test positive for herpes antibodies on a blood test. How is herpes treated? Herpes outbreaks are often brought on by stress or illness, & can be treated episodically or with daily suppressive medication. Daily medication can reduce the frequency of outbreaks & reduce the risk of transmission. PASS"
