Test Details
The HSV 1 & 2 viral load quantitative test is a laboratory test that measures the amount of herpes simplex virus (HSV) in a person’s blood or other bodily fluids. This test can determine the viral load, which refers to the amount of virus present in the body.
HSV 1 and HSV 2 are two different types of herpes simplex viruses. HSV 1 is typically associated with oral herpes, while HSV 2 is commonly associated with genital herpes. However, both types of viruses can cause either oral or genital herpes.
The quantitative test can be useful in several ways. It can help diagnose an active herpes infection, determine the severity of the infection, monitor the effectiveness of antiviral treatment, and assess the risk of transmitting the virus to sexual partners.
During the test, a sample of blood or other bodily fluid is collected from the person. The sample is then sent to a laboratory where it is analyzed using various techniques, such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) or nucleic acid amplification testing (NAAT), to measure the amount of HSV present.
The results of the test are reported as a numerical value, indicating the viral load in terms of copies of the virus per milliliter of blood or other fluid. A higher viral load generally indicates a more active infection.
It is important to note that the quantitative test does not determine the location or symptoms of the infection. It only measures the amount of virus present in the body. Other tests, such as viral culture or antibody testing, may be needed to provide a complete picture of the infection.
If you suspect you have a herpes infection, it is important to consult a healthcare provider who can recommend appropriate testing and treatment options.
