The blood test for herpes infections will show whether you have been exposed to the herpes virus (by detecting antibodies - I or II). Since so many people have the antibodies, this test is usually not performed in a standard STD work-up. If that's what you're worried about. But, like smeth said, you should always tell prospective partners because HSV I can be spread through sexual contact and without your being aware that your HSV I is 'shedding virus.'
