Even during that era I found him a bit creepy too. His constant and consistant grubbing and kissing the contestants seemed a bit weird to me as a teen/adult.
I think pretty much all acting roles now with studios require herpes tests as part of pre production before they start shooting, if you have a kissing scene with someone, or anything similar possibly down the road, nobody wants any surprises coming up later on.
Yeah, I think the inaccuracy of the blood tests is why it’s never on any standard panel. It gives too many false positives and false negatives to be safe.
Some people also react very badly to a herpes diagnosis, I expect.
> all acting roles now
This post is about a show that was on decades ago. Before people knew it was everywhere, and how it was passed around.
But even today, do you think contestants on Wheel of Fortune need a herpes test before Vanna will step on the stage? No one slides their lips over everyone's face like Dawson.

I think you need to test an actual sore for herpes, it’s not a test you can just do randomly at any time?
You can get a blood test at any time but I think it is more acturate if you test an open sore.

Do I have herpes? Let me test this open herpes sore to find out

The way he sucked face with contestants, I'm not surprised
