How do doctors check for herpes?

Answers:
The most common way, and the most preferred way, of testing for herpes is when the person is experiencing an outbreak. The doctor will do a physical exam, which sometimes includes a pap smear for women, and they can also take a fluid sample from the sores.
If a person is not on an outbreak they can be test by a blood sample.
Good luck!
