Yes: You can get blood tests for herpes. Most of us are already pos for type 1. Type 2 is genital, but sometimes is on the face. Sometimes type 1 is on the genital area. The virus is known to be present about 25% of days even when there are no symptoms. Acyclovir and other creams are a waste of money. If you and your partner have blood tests pos. For the same virus, you are a perfect match.
