HSV2 testing

This might be a dumb question, but how are males tested for HSV type 2 in the absence of symptoms?

Same as females I suppose. With a blood test. (preferably a type specific IGG antibody test). And wait to do it after 2-3 months have passed since you had contact with someone you suspect you might have gotten it from. That way you allow the antibodies to form so you don't get a possible false reading and have to go back and get the tests done again.
