the doctor said I had herpes type A but she said everyone had that...and I was negative for herpes type B. Can they detect herpes through a STD blood test????

Sure can, because you form antibodies against some of them. You can detect herpes, HIV, syphyllis and chlamydia all in a blood test. The herpes type A she mentioned is the variety that causes cold sores- and yes, most of the human population have antibodies for it. Some folks are just unlucky enough to have a breakout, but you can carry it for a lifetime and never have one at all. Or you can get sick from something else and the little opportunistic begger will pop out.

My resources say yes. My friend is a doctor.

"everybody has that"...huh?
Instead of getting tested, why aren't you using protection? If a guy won't wear it, he doesn't get it.
