What to ask about genital herpes testing
Compare lesion assessment and the limitations of blood screening.
Updated
Discuss symptoms while they are present
If there are blisters or sores, a clinician can assess them and may collect a specimen from a lesion. Contact a clinic while symptoms are present to discuss suitable testing.
Check what a blood result can tell you
An antibody result may leave the site of infection or the cause of symptoms unresolved. If you are considering screening without symptoms, ask a clinician how the result would be used.
