How can you find out if you have herpes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Exam or testing: Doctors can often make the diagnosis based on the appearance of lesions during an outbreak, and a viral culture is sometime used for confirmation. An hsv-2 igg antibody will tell you whether you're infected with the virus.
