The cost is $55 as of December 2011. If you have a current outbreak in your genital region that is the only time herpes tests are free. If you have any outbreak on your lip you must pay full price to test. I thought I would let you know Planned Parenthood on Valencia (San Francisco) does not provide free Herpes blood testing.

I have had the viris for 10 years and wish my dr could have told me this then. I have had people want to be intimate with me, and I have always told them. Thinking they would be turned off, they respected me more, and were not at all turned off. They also liked me as a person before hand so that helped me get better because I hated myself. I could not even look in the mirror. I had always been so careful, and got the viris from someone who knew they had it and lied to me about it. but for some reason I no longer feel so ashamed.
