Herpes is diagnosed via examination, culture, and less frequently by blood tests.
if you haven't had an outbreak simply ask your doctor to run a test for HSV2 to see if you have herpes
An HSV culture from an affected genital site--preferably on the first day of the outbreak--can test for herpes simplex.
