It seems that this isn't an issue for Theranos's FDA-approved HSV-1 assay. See Table 16 and Figure 1: http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/cdrh_docs/reviews/K143236.pdf

However, the skill level of whoever performed the fingerpricks for that data may be significantly higher than the average technician at Theranos's wellness centers. And of course we have no idea about the hundreds of other tests. There seems to be some other correlation data on Theranos's site (https://www.theranos.com/our-lab - scroll down to 'Representative Clinical Correlations'), but there's no captions or text to provide context.
