if you have symptoms, you need to be seen to try to figure out what is going on.

nothing more I can add. I was referring to brand of test, not method of blood testing.  If you have further questions about the specific test you had done, since you aren't in the US, I advise finding someone more local who is more familiar with the brands of herpes tests used in your country.
