or do you have to have an outbreak and have the dr look at it?

The most preferred way and the most common way to diagnose someone with herpes is by having an outbreak. The doctor may also take a fluid sample from the sores.
If a person isn't on an outbreak at the time though, then there is a blood test that can be done to determine if a person has herpes.
There is NO urine test, like someone above mentioned.

Advisement "I am not a doctor and cannot diagnose". - A physician can test for herpes simplex virus by lab test. They can also make a general diagnosis by evaluating a current rash/outbreak. If you are concerned that you may have contracted herpes simplex virus (either on the face or genitally), it is recommended that you discuss this with a physician so that you are aware of your status and will avoid transmission to other persons during any outbreak stage. It's better to know than to not know. Good luck.

the doctor can either treat you by your past history or by culturing the fluid from the lesions.
