The blood tests we currently use for herpes diagnosis only look for the presence of protective antibodies for herpes once you've been infected, not actual herpes virus in the blood. Since herpes isn't a blood borne virus, a blood test won't tell you if you've cleared yourself of infection with it or not. I know, clear as mud eh? The herpes virus settles into the nerve ganglia after you are infected and we don't do biopsies of nerves to determine infection or not.

3 Questions.
1. Is it safe to donate blood and must we tell them of positive test, when donating, since it is not a blood borne virus?
2. Is it possible to not have "the presence of protective antibodies for herpes" in Your blood and still have herpes?
3. Is it possible that this Detox would only remove the protective antbodies?
