HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUS (I/II) LGG
What is it?The test screens for the two types of Herpes – Simplex Virus-1 (HSV-1) and Simplex Virus-2 (HSV-2). HSV-1 and HSV-2 are common and usually chronic infections that may be spread through oral or sexual contact. Both HSV-1 and HSV-2 can cause oral or genital infections.
Why do I need it?Many of those infected with herpes are unaware they have it. HSV tests are important for detecting asymptomatic and symptomatic infections. It may take up to three to six months after a possible infection for HSV to show up in blood work. In addition, there is some evidence that people with HSV are more likely to contract sexually transmitted diseases (STSs), including HIV. For this reason, an HSV lab is often added on to a lab panel screening for additional STDs. See thee STD panel below.
What do I do with the results?If your results are ‘abnormal’ or ‘out-of-range’ from the normal, please contact a health care provider. The interpretation of any laboratory test should be made only by a licensed nurse practitioner or physician.
