Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) Testing
STD Test for Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) is a common viral infection that affects many people worldwide. There are two types of HSV: HSV-1, which typically causes oral herpes, and HSV-2, which is responsible for genital herpes, a sexually transmitted infection.
Our HSV testing provides a reliable way to determine if you are infected with HSV-1 or HSV-2 by measuring the levels of IgG antibodies in your blood. This test is crucial for individuals who suspect they might have been infected with HSV, as it helps in early detection and management. Additionally, testing for other STIs, such as the Gonorrhea Test, is essential in ensuring comprehensive sexual health. Regular testing can help detect infections early, leading to effective treatment and reducing the risk of complications.
