HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if you are infected for virus then even after the test the clinical manifestation can not be stopped and one has to face the consequences so it is no sense to get done the test because this is not the preventive test, only clinical symptom would show whether this is herpes or not so why not to wait for this, once this is confirmed the herpes then this can be well treated, till then no need to do anything, if nothing ever happens then forget about it, take care.
I find this answer helpful
