The Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) Type 1 and 2 PCR Qualitative Test is a highly accurate diagnostic tool used to detect the presence of HSV DNA in the body. This test differentiates between HSV-1, commonly associated with oral herpes, and HSV-2, which is primarily responsible for genital herpes. The PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) technology amplifies tiny segments of the virus’s DNA, making it possible to identify an infection even when the virus is not actively causing symptoms.

Conducted at DNA Labs UAE, a leading facility in medical diagnostics, the test ensures confidentiality, precision, and quick turnaround times. With a test cost of 1000 AED, individuals seeking clarity on their HSV status can expect a reliable service. This test is particularly useful for those experiencing symptoms related to herpes infections, individuals with partners diagnosed with HSV, or anyone looking for peace of mind regarding their sexual health. The qualitative nature of the test provides a simple positive or negative result, indicating the presence or absence of the virus, respectively.

It’s important to note that while the test is highly sensitive and specific, a comprehensive consultation with a healthcare provider is recommended for interpreting the results and discussing potential next steps in care or treatment.

Description

HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUS HSV TYPE 1 and 2 PCR QUALITATIVE Test

Cost: AED 1000.0

Test Details

The Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) Type 1 & 2 PCR Qualitative Test is a diagnostic test that uses Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) technology to detect the presence of HSV DNA in a patient’s sample. This test can determine whether a person is infected with either HSV type 1 or type 2. PCR is a highly sensitive and specific method for detecting viral DNA. It works by amplifying and detecting specific regions of the virus’s genetic material.

In the case of HSV, the test can identify the presence of viral DNA in a patient’s sample, indicating an active infection. The qualitative aspect of the test means that it can only determine whether the virus is present or not. It does not provide information on the viral load or the stage of infection. This test is typically used for diagnostic purposes, confirming the presence of HSV in patients with suspected infections.

It is important to note that this test does not differentiate between HSV type 1 and type 2. Additional testing, such as typing PCR or serological tests, may be required to determine the specific type of HSV present.

Test Procedure

The HSV Type 1 & 2 PCR Qualitative Test is usually performed on samples such as swabs from oral or genital lesions, cerebrospinal fluid, or blood. The results are reported as positive or negative for the presence of HSV DNA.

Interpretation of Results

It is important to consult a healthcare professional for interpretation of test results and appropriate management and treatment options if the test comes back positive for HSV infection.
