Is there a test available that determines whether herpes infection is in the genitals or the mouth without having symptoms? genital herpes test?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Herpes: There is a blood test that will tell if you have ever been infected with herpes simplex type 1 or type 2 or nigh or neither. If the test is negative it means you are not infected with herpes. If the test is positive it means that you have been infected in the past but it doesn't tell you where because either type can occur in either place.
