February 14, 2023 – The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force released today a final recommendation statement on serologic screening for genital herpes infection. The Task Force determined that screening people without signs or symptoms of genital herpes is not recommended because it does not improve overall health. To view the recommendation, the evidence on which it is based, and a summary for clinicians, please go here.
