Does herpes test detect the virus if its type I or II? Does type two have slightly diff DNA structure than type 1?
ALso can if type one is on genitalia, then it automatically becomes type II?

Yes, a herpes blood test can tell a person if they have either herpes simplex virus 1 or 2.
Cold sores and genital herpes can be caused by either herpes simplex virus 1 or 2. Herpes simplex virus 1 is usually responsible for cold sores, while herpes simplex virus 2 is usually responsible for genital herpes.
And, if a person has genital herpes caused by herpes simplex virus 1 then it is simple that - genital herpes caused by herpes simplex virus 1. It doesn't "morph" or "turn into" herpes simplex virus 2.

I got clinically diagnosed with the herpes simplex virus (type 2) about 7 years ago, while I was still attending college and had a dumb one-night stand. I realize lots of girls will say this, but I swear I had certainly not done that sort of thing before. I just made a massive mistake that one time and all of a sudden it seemed like I was going to have to live with the implications for my entire life. The worst part was feeling I could never date guys again. After all, who wants to go out with someone who has sores round her private parts? But since a friend shared this video https://tr.im/7czt1 everything got better.
Not only was I able to eradicate all remnants of the herpes virus from my body in less than 3 weeks, but I was also able to start dating once more. I even met the guy of my dreams and I'm so blessed to write that just a week ago, in front of everybody in a busy restaurant, he got down on one knee and proposed to me!! This program gave me back the opportunity to be happy and experience true love. Now I want to enable you too by sharing this with the whole World.

The herpes test will tell you if it is type 1 or type 2 (or negative for herpes). The two do not have the same structure.
If you have it on your genitalia it does not automatically become type 2. Type 2 is more common on the genitalia and type 1 is more common around the mouth, but there is cross over.
