Clinical Insight & Safety Protocol
“A positive HSV PCR result must always be interpreted in the context of your clinical symptoms and exposure history; this test alone cannot distinguish between active infection, asymptomatic shedding, or latent virus. I strongly recommend a follow‑up tele‑consultation to correlate these findings with your overall health, especially if you are pregnant or have recurrent lesions. Early and accurate diagnosis is the cornerstone of effective management.”
— Dr. Prabhakar Reddy, DHA License 61713011, Specialist General Physician
Medication Warning:
Do not discontinue prescribed antiviral therapy or any other medication before consulting your treating physician. This test is intended to complement, not replace, professional medical advice.

Q2: Do I need a doctor’s prescription for this?
A: Yes, a valid doctor’s prescription is required; however, it is waived for pre‑surgical clearance, pregnancy monitoring, or individuals travelling abroad who meet DHA travel‑screening criteria.
