This PCR-based test detects HSV-1 and HSV-2 DNA in blood, cerebrospinal fluid, or lesion swabs, confirming herpes infections.
People with genital sores, cold sores, unexplained meningitis, or suspected herpes encephalitis should get tested.
A sample (swab, blood, or CSF) is analyzed using PCR to detect HSV DNA.
A positive result confirms an active HSV infection, while a negative result suggests no detectable viral DNA.
Antiviral medications like acyclovir can manage symptoms and reduce outbreaks, but herpes remains a lifelong infection.
