A member asked:
Is there any full blood test/panel that tests for hsv or does it always have to be specially ordered?
7 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Specifically ordered: You can test for antibodies or evidence of viral DNA or antigens in vesicles swabs, blood or spinal fluid. I'm pretty sure it's not part of another panel.

HSV: Herpes simplex virus is tested by culture of an ulcer in the genital area or mouth, depending on where the ulcer is located.
