Understanding Herpes and Finding Clarity
If you’ve noticed unusual blisters, sores, or are concerned about potential herpes exposure, we understand the worry and uncertainty you might be feeling. Herpes simplex virus affects millions of South Africans, and getting accurate answers is the first step toward proper management and peace of mind. Our HSV PCR test provides the definitive detection you need to move forward with confidence.
What Our HSV PCR Test Detects
This advanced PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) test specifically identifies the genetic material of Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 and Type 2. Unlike antibody tests that can take weeks to become positive, our PCR test can detect active infection within days of exposure. This means you get answers when you need them most, allowing for timely medical guidance and appropriate care.

This test is particularly important if you’re experiencing:
- Painful blisters or ulcers in the genital or oral area
- Burning or tingling sensations before sores appear
- Flu-like symptoms accompanied by skin lesions
