Can uou have herpes and never know?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, not uncommon: In the HIV era, its not uncommon for women to request blood tests to screen for stds. There is a blood test that looks for antibodies your immune system may have made in response to a herpes infection. Many people have tested positive who had no idea they were ever exposed. This is one reason to use condoms routinely.
