Hsv testing needed after 5 years of last sexual exposure? have no symptoms so far. is it life threating infection? i am male by gender.

Not needed: If you do not have any symptoms, there is no need to be tested. HSV is not life threatening at all. However, if you have any concern about having picked up a sexually transmitted infection, get tested for HIV.
