Understanding Genital Herpes
Genital herpes, primarily caused by the HSV-2 virus, is a common sexually transmitted disease (STD). It manifests as recurrent painful genital sores, significantly impacting the quality of life for those affected. While HSV-1 typically causes oral infections like cold sores, it can also cause genital herpes through oral-genital contact.
Signs and Symptoms
Initial Outbreaks: Typically, individuals experience multiple outbreaks within the first year of infection, characterized by painful sores.
Recurring Outbreaks: These can vary in frequency and severity, with some individuals experiencing frequent episodes while others remain asymptomatic.
Diagnostic Laboratory Tests
Diagnosing herpes accurately is crucial for effective treatment. We offer multiple diagnostic options, including:
Tzanck Preparation: Scraping and examining blister cells under a microscope.
Culture Tests: Culturing fluid from blisters to identify the virus.
POCkit HSV-2 Rapid Test: A quick blood test detecting HSV-2 antibodies.
Comprehensive Blood Test: Distinguishes between HSV-1 and HSV-2 and assesses if the infection is primary or recurrent.
