Herpes blood test and antibiotics?

Hello I was wondering if taking an antibiotic would interfere with my herpes week 12 blood test. I've recently got a infection cellulitis from a bug bite and I am on medication. I was wondering if being on this would interfere with my results for my upcoming test Saturday. I know the possibility of me having herpes was slim to none, but I want the week 12 test to finally put the issue to bed. Thoughts?

I was on Bactrim when I got the test done and results were as expected.
