Main > Specialty Areas > Venereology and STDs > Herpes Diagnosis of Herpes The diagnosis is usually made by a venereologist or a dermato-venereologist. The sores are usually quite distinctive and an experienced doctor can usually recognize them upon a visual examination, however sometimes sores and vesicles can be symptoms of other STDs. That's why a doctor will usually take a sample from the sores in order to test for the presence of the herpes virus. A pap smear, a cell culture test or an antigen test are often used to test for herpes virus. However, the tests won’t work if the sores have healed. A blood test has recently become available for those who are worried they might have herpes, but exhibit no visible symptoms. Since it is a blood test, it cannot usually determine whether the infection is oral or genital, however a positive Type 2 (HSV-2) result is likely to indicate genital herpes. Procedure Info: The Pap Smear (or the Pap Test) is used to analyze cells in a cervix. The Pap test can detect infection, unhealthy cells or cancer. It is recommended that generally, women should undergo the procedure once a year as a part of their regular visit to gynecologist. During the test, a special stick or brush is used to swab a few cells from the inside of the cervix. The test is usually painless and causes only minor discomfort. ‹‹ Herpes Symptoms Herpes Treatment ››
