Herpes can be detected through various methods, including blood tests to detect antibodies, viral culture from a skin sore, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test to detect viral DNA, and antigen detection tests. The specific test used will depend on the type of herpes being tested for and the stage of infection. Consulting with a healthcare provider is recommended for proper testing and diagnosis.
