Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) Type 2 Qualitative PCR

Herpes simplex virus (HSV) is a common, quickly spread virus that causes a long-term viral infection. This test is used to help find out if you have the Herpes Simples virus. Tests look for viral genetic material or DNA in blood samples that have been taken from someone who has a virus. Generic herpes is caused by HSV-2, which is the leading cause.

Herpes is a virus that can spread through skin-to-skin contact, even when people are having sex. People with type 1 herpes are more likely to get oral herpes. People who have Type 2 aren't as familiar as those with genital herpes. Both types of the virus can be spread to either area, depending on how the virus is spread. The most common sign of a Herpes infection is when there are outbreaks of sores around the area that has been infected. There are times when herpes doesn't show up for years at a time. The virus can spread even if the person who has it doesn't show any signs, which is called "asymptomatic shedding." Chronic Herpes infections can damage the nervous system and make it more likely that you will get other STDs, like HIV.
