Blood & Culture? I think that I maybe be having my first outbreak of hvs-2 but the blood work came back negative. I will be getting a culture today and will be re-tested in 3-4 weeks. Isn't it better to do blood test when your having an outbreak?? Confused
 
your viral load begins building two weeks before an outbreak shows up and you are shedding the virus a week before you have an outbreak, so no, it doesn't matter if you do it days into an outbreak or at the first sign, your viral load has already peaked.
