I was tested for the herpes virus (along with hepatitis and several other common ones) when i was diagnosed with liver disease. I was negative for everything and was vaccinated for all the ones that had available vaccines (herpes doesn’t.) It’s estimated that about half the population have herpes and it’s very easily spread (skin contact, saliva etc) so I am vigilant on not sharing drinks, washing my hands, not touching my face… these habits have been a good thing considering the past couple of years!
