They can be diagnosed with a blood test. But most doctors would want to wait until you have a break out. Some times the blood test for herpes isn't always accurate.

Here are a few things to help you out.

If you have ever had chicken pox as a child, then you have herpes zooster and you could possibly get shingles later in life. But I believe there is a vaccine on the market to help prevent shingles.

If you have ever had a cold sore or fever blister then you most likely have oral herpes.

If you have never had oral sex or intercourse before then you're not likely to have genital herpes.

You would have to talk to your doctor about testing and treatments if you happen to have it.
