Yes in fact there are two ways you can be tested for herpes. But some doctors don't want to test you unless you have had a break out or have a break out in progress.
The most common is to take a sample of a suspected break out, sores or blisters.
The second way is to get a blood test done. But the blood test can be innacurate if you get teste too early after being exposed to herpes. You should wait at least 6-8 weeks after being exposed to have the blood test done.

My Partner Says I Gave Him Herpes But We Was Only Kissing Now He's Saying That He's Lips Is Burning. Do He Really Got Herpes?
He needs to have a blood test to determine. If you were "only kissing", and you have herpes, then it is very possible that the virus was transfered to him. "Burning lips" does not constitute a diagnosis of herpes though. There are other symptoms associated with the virus such as blisters. Go to a doctor, get tested.
