would a CBC show positive HSV1 or HSV2?

I have recently been visually diagnosed with HSV2.  Supposedly it is not uncommon for HSV to lay dormant for years before a breakout.  I am still having difficulties understanding this.  My question is, would a complete blood count display levels of HSV1 or 2?  I have had a cbc in the past and have never been returned with abnormal counts of anything.   I have not yet received my test results.  Thank you.
