How is genital herpes diagnosed?
The sores of genital herpes in its active stage are usually visible to the naked
eye. However, to distinguish herpes sores from other infections your doctor
may remove a sample (culture) and send it for analysis.
A blood test can detect antibodies to the virus, which indicate that the person
has at some time been infected with HSV, but it cannot determine whether a
person has an active genital herpes infection. Blood tests are the most
commonly used methods of diagnosis, why? because they are quick and
cheap.
