Physician Insight & Safety Protocol
“A positive HSV‑2 PCR result must be correlated with the patient’s clinical picture — a positive test alone does not define disease stage or prognosis. In newborns and immunocompromised patients, this test can be life‑saving when acted upon rapidly.”
— Dr. Prabhakar Reddy, DHA License No. 61713011, Specialist Clinical Pathologist
⚠️ Do not discontinue any prescribed antiviral or other medication without explicit instruction from your treating physician.
