There is no test for men in the US. Most doctors say the virus remains in your body forever but most people do make it dormant.
According to Drs Handsfield and Hook,the levels of virus become so low after a period of time that they are not transmitted to partners. But that period of time isn't known. I think the longest estimate is between one and 2 years,but Ive also seen it lower. But virus can in some cases still be passed on. There IS a test available for men in the UK by Better to Know if you google it. I was tested and came back negative,but I went to a clinic and on inspection they said it was positive.
Ive found the lack of responses on this and other forums disappointing. But maybe it could be a good thing. Is it because the virus gets cleared by most people. They say its common. If it was and not cleared maybe the fiorums would be much more active?
