A member asked:

If i tested negative for genital herpes since 2010, does that mean i really don't have it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: If you had blood tests for antibodies for both herpes type 1 and type 2 virus then for sure you can say you were never exposed to the virus and will never get a breakout.

Dr Brasovan and another doctor agreed
