it was possible they got bloodwork to soon.. have to wait 12/16 weeks after exposure to test. swabs are pretty accurate. did the get fluid from the blisters for swab?

if it was a swab, theres little to no chance its wrong. blood tests arent accurate until weeks after your first break out so they will probably come back negative. it still means you have it, your body just hasnt built up immunity yet
