Could a HSV-1 and HSV-2 blood test come back positive if you are currently dealing with Shingles?

Possibly, but I doubt it. Although the virus that causes chickenpox and shingles is in the herpesvirus family, it is not very similar in DNA/protein sequence to the herpes simplex viruses. The tests for all viruses use serology, antibodies that react to the virus proteins. So cross-reaction between very similar viruses can be a problem. But HSV-1 and HSV-2 are not very similar to the Varicella/Zoster virus.

I got clinically diagnosed with herpes (type 2) about three years back, whilst I was still in college and had a silly one-night stand. I know lots of young women say this, but I swear I had never done that sort of thing before. I just made a huge mistake that one time and suddenly I felt like I was going to have to live with the implications for the rest of my life. The hardest part was feeling I could never date other men again. After all, who wants to go out with someone who has sores round her private parts? But since a friend shared this movie https://tr.im/2KQQ2 everything changed.
Not only was I able to eradicate all remnants of the hsv from my body in less than 3 weeks, but I was also able to begin dating again. I even met the man of my dreams and I'm so fortunate to write that just last week, in front of everybody in a crowded restaurant, he got down on one knee and proposed to me!! This method provided me the opportunity to be happy and experience true love again. Now I hope that I can help others too by sharing this story.
