Is 6 months long enough for hsv testing ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
They'll be accurate: There are thousands of lab tests, so doctors and patients have to pick the ones that are needed for a particular situation. Tests are not chosen randomly, so a patient should talk about his or her symptoms and ask about the testing. Sometimes the doctor suspects a different disease and will order tests. A person with no herpes lesions or herpes-related issues usually does not need a herpes test.
