The best way is to get tested. If it has been 12 weeks after exposure, you can request a herpes select test from a doctor. If you have sores, you can have them cultured. Be sure to have the culture typed. Sometimes HSVI can occur genitally.

It's possible. People with herpes can be more suceptable to getting HIV because it can pass more easily through open sores or blisters. So some one with herpes should abstain from having sex while they have any signs of a break out. But just so you know because some one has genital herpes that doesn't always mean they have HIV too.
