When I went in to do my hiv test, I asked for a herpes test as well. The doctor said, "why?"

"I just want to make sure..."

"Are you having outbreaks of any kind?"
he said.

"Well, no, but I heard you can still carry it."
I said.

"I can test you, but honestly, you will likely test positive. Most people have some strain of it. It really is a waste of time unless you are experiencing symptoms."
He said.

I confirmed this with a few of my med student friends.
