Herpes Testing: All sexually active adults should know their herpes status with a blood test. Regardless of your boyfriend's history you should already know if you have been exposed to herpes. 90% of those exposed do not have sores or outbreaks and can still be contagious. 74% of americans have the 'oral' or herpes type one and 25% o;f americans have the 'genital' or herpes type two virus.
