Herpes Simplex Viruses 1 and 2

Cutting-Edge PCR Test for Herpes Simplex Viruses 1 and 2

Many sexually transmitted infections (STIs) can be treated, but patients and doctors need timely, accurate information to develop an effective treatment plan. Enter the PCR molecular pathogen test from Advanta Genetics. Trusted for precision and reliability, this cutting-edge molecular diagnostic tool delivers results in less than 24 hours for eight of the most common STI pathogens, now including Herpes Simplex Viruses 1 and 2 (HSV-1 and HSV-2). Headquartered in Tyler, Texas, Advanta Genetics proudly equips medical providers with this invaluable resource in the ongoing battle against STIs.

Understanding Herpes Simplex Viruses 1 and 2

Herpes Simplex Viruses 1 and 2 (HSV-1 and HSV-2) pose significant health risks due to their ability to cause recurring infections that can lead to various complications. HSV-1, commonly associated with oral herpes, manifests as painful cold sores and, in rare cases, can cause severe infections such as herpes encephalitis. HSV-2, primarily responsible for genital herpes, not only results in painful lesions but also increases the risk of acquiring other sexually transmitted infections. Both viruses can lead to emotional distress and negatively impact an individual's quality of life, affecting relationships and mental well-being. Furthermore, HSV-2 is associated with an increased risk of HIV transmission. While antiviral medications can manage symptoms, there is currently no cure for herpes, emphasizing the importance of early detection and effective management to minimize the risks and impact of these pervasive viruses.
