Find Clarity and Peace of Mind with HSV Type I PCR Testing
Living with unexplained oral symptoms or worrying about herpes transmission can be emotionally draining. We understand the anxiety that comes with uncertainty, and we’re here to provide the definitive answers you deserve. Our Herpes Simplex Virus Type I PCR Qualitative Test offers the most accurate detection available, giving you the clarity needed to move forward with confidence.
Understanding Your HSV Type I PCR Test
This advanced molecular test uses Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) technology to detect the genetic material of Herpes Simplex Virus Type I with exceptional accuracy. Unlike antibody tests that may show past infections, our PCR test identifies active viral replication, providing crucial information about your current infection status. The test analyses samples from oral lesions, blister fluid, or other affected areas to deliver reliable results you can trust.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is essential if you’re experiencing:
- Recurrent cold sores or oral blisters
- Unexplained oral ulcers or lesions
- Neurological symptoms possibly linked to HSV
- Concerns about transmitting HSV to partners
- Need for definitive diagnosis before treatment
- Symptoms during pregnancy requiring accurate diagnosis
Many South Africans live with undiagnosed HSV-1, often mistaking symptoms for other conditions. Getting accurate testing means proper management and reduced transmission risk.
