Syphilis and Herpes 1/2
      #187151 - 04/20/06 10:17 AM

Anybody knows how accurate it is testing for Syphilis at 1 week after exposure.. I tested negative 7 days post exposure, I didn't get the typical 'chancre', but I'm still a little concerned.. since there are rare cases where you might have it without noticing.

Question 2 - In order to test for Herpes 1 and 2, does it have to be during an outbreak.. or they just do a blood draw regardless of an outbreak?

It's been more then 3 months since exposure, and I never had any blisters.. until this week in one of my toes.. it's clear with water-like fluid inside... could it be something else? I'm a soccer player and I did play over the weekend; but I don't know if it is related to that.

Thanks for your input!

A blood test will pick up both. Herpes 1 and 2 are either in the mouth or the genitals, NOT the toes! Good luck!
