Herpes

The Herpes Test offered by 24-7 Labs is a reliable diagnostic service designed to detect the presence of herpes simplex virus (HSV) types 1 and 2, which are responsible for oral and genital herpes infections. Herpes is a common viral infection that affects millions of people worldwide, and while it can be asymptomatic or cause mild symptoms, it is highly contagious. Early detection through testing is crucial for managing the condition, preventing outbreaks, and reducing transmission to others.

There are two types of herpes simplex virus: HSV-1 and HSV-2. HSV-1 typically causes oral herpes (cold sores), while HSV-2 is most commonly associated with genital herpes. However, both types can cause infections in either location. The Herpes Test from 24-7 Labs can detect both HSV-1 and HSV-2 antibodies, which are produced by the immune system in response to the virus. This allows for accurate identification of current or past infections, even if symptoms are not present.

The Herpes Test can be performed using a blood sample, which is analyzed in accredited laboratories using advanced molecular testing techniques. Our partner labs follow strict quality control protocols to ensure accurate and reliable results. Results are typically available within a few days and are delivered securely, ensuring confidentiality.

The Herpes Test is ideal for individuals who are experiencing symptoms such as painful blisters or sores, or for those who have been exposed to someone with herpes. It’s also a valuable screening tool for those who want to understand their health status and take proactive steps to manage their sexual health.

By knowing your herpes status, you can make informed decisions regarding treatment, prevention, and safe sexual practices.
