Are you experiencing recurrent oral or genital lesions and suspect a herpes infection? Our DNA PCR Test for Herpes Simplex 1 and 2 offers a cutting-edge solution for the precise identification of these viral infections. By detecting the genetic material of the herpes viruses, this test provides rapid and reliable results, enabling timely and targeted medical interventions. The DNA PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) Test for Herpes Simplex 1 and 2 (HSV1 and HSV2) is a highly sensitive and specific diagnostic tool. It works by amplifying and detecting the genetic material (DNA) of the herpes simplex viruses in a patient's sample. This state-of-the-art testing method surpasses traditional approaches, ensuring a more accurate and early detection of herpes infections. Diagnosis of Herpes Infections: The DNA PCR Test is specifically designed for the precise diagnosis of both Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 (HSV-1) and Herpes Simplex Virus Type 2 (HSV-2). It effectively differentiates between the two types, as HSV-1 is commonly associated with oral herpes (cold sores), while HSV-2 is primarily linked to genital herpes. Confirmation of Suspected Cases: For individuals exhibiting symptoms such as painful sores, blisters, or ulcers in the mouth, lips, or genital area, this test can confirm the presence of herpes viruses, allowing for proper medical management. Testing for Asymptomatic Individuals: Herpes infections can sometimes be asymptomatic, meaning a person may carry the virus without experiencing noticeable symptoms. Our DNA PCR Test can identify asymptomatic carriers, which is vital information for preventing the spread of the virus to others and managing the individual's health effectively. Preventive Measures for High-Risk Groups: Individuals at higher risk of herpes infections, such as sexually active individuals or those with a history of previous herpes outbreaks, can benefit from this test to proactively monitor their status and take preventive measures.
HIV transmission cannot be eliminated if individuals do not know their HIV status (i.e., whether they are HIV positive or HIV negative). An HIV test is the only way to determine if a person is living with the virus.
An estimate of 2,100,000 individuals in India are living with the virus in 2015. Approximately 100,000 new HIV infections occur each year in India.
More than 50 percent of people living with HIV are unaware that they have the virus
STIs are sexually transmitted infections and are also called as STDs ie sexually transmitted diseases. These are infections that spread by sexual activity.
If you had sexual relationship with a person who may be a stranger or whose status you do not know, it is recommended to get screened for STIs.
The STIs may not show any symptoms for several weeks or months, hence testing is the safest option.
Ulcer/Sore/Blisters on private parts or around anus or mouth.
Irregular growth (warts) in genital area.
Abnormal smelling and discolored discharge from private parts
Rash/Itching on private areas of body
Pain while sexual intercourse
Vaginal bleeding or spotting after sexual intercourse
Lower abdominal pain
Pain or swelling of glands in genital area
Bacterial STIs can be easily cured with antibiotics if treatment begins early enough.
The viral STIs are very effectively managed with modern medicines.
HIV is easily managed with ART provided it is detected early. People with HIV whose viral load becomes undetectable with ART can expect normal to near normal life spans.
It is possible to cure Hepatitis C. Hepatitis B can also be effectively managed.
Fungal and protozoal STIs can usually be cured too.
According to WHO , 1 million (10 lakh) STIs occur every day in the world. The good news is, with early detection these can be easily cured or managed.
