Hi Mayer,

Actually we use 你好吗?when we meet our friends who we haven't met for a period of time.

e.g. 好久不见。你好吗?

好久不见。你最近好吗?

Either above is OK.

But is 你好吗? ever used among native Chinese speakers?

http://www.italki.com/article/360/how-do-you-really-greet-in-chinese#.VeneHvlViko

Chinese people never say 你好吗? which is the literal translation of How are you? … after the habit of westerners. It is usually arranged in the first few lessons of almost all Chinese-as-a-Foreign-Language textbooks for the convenience of structure teaching and for the communicative need. Why? Because both the question and answer belong to typical adj-predicate sentence patterns used exclusively in Chinese.
