A member asked:
Some doctors offer herpes blood test to high risk individuals what does high risk mean? does it mean a partner with known herpes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ask the DRs: Usually it means multiple sexual exposures. The more people you contact, the greater the risk. It may also apply to contacts of known infected people. It may also apply to the type of sex such as anal, or to blood exposures such as sharing drug paraphernalia.
