I have read in a number of places that genital herpes can move through semen. Though I have read in a number of places that herpes can not transmit in semen. Can a test be done to check if one has genital herpes though a semen examination? Where and how can this be done as this seems very logical...
  1. Thanks for your question...

    Hi and thanks for writing. I am not a certified health professional so I cannot answer your question specifically. What I can do is relay your question to one of our experts to see if they can give you an idea of where you are actually tested for herpes. I will let you know what I hear as soon as possible.

     

    In the meentime, you may want to check out our Tests and Results page to see if that helps you understand the testing process a little better.

     

    Thanks again for writing.

There are two types of HSV, HSV type 1 and 2, and both can cause genital herpes.
