Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV1) is known to cause oral herpes/mouth herpes when cold sores appear on the face, lips, and mouth. It belongs to the alphaherpesvirus group. HSV possesses an internal core with a linear double-stranded DNA. The capsid of herpes viruses consists of 162 consumers. The virus is wrapped in a lipid envelope with viral glycoproteins on the surface. Its molecular weight is approximately 100×106 units and its diameter of approximately 160 nm.

The Herpes HSV-1 test is a rapid test for the qualitative detection of antibodies (IgG and IgM) to Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 to aid in the diagnosis of HSV infection. 

HSV-1 is usually associated with infection in the oropharyngeal area and eyes, while HSV-2 causes mostly genital and neonatal infections. However, the tissue specificity is not absolute, HSV-2 can be isolated occasionally from the oropharynx and 5-10% of primary genital infections may be caused by HSV-1. The antibody of the IgM class is produced during the first 2-3 weeks of infection with HSV and exists only transiently in most patients.

Herpes 2 test (genital herpes)

This rapid herpes 2 test includes all the necessary items for detecting herpes type 2 (genital herpes) for men and women.  Genital herpes (HSV-2) is one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases. The first infection of herpes may not cause symptoms for a long time. After the first infection, the genital area may become itchy or cause small blisters, which break down into wounds. In the first infection, women, in particular, can have symptoms such as fever and headache.

The most accurate test for asymptomatic herpes infections is considered to be a blood herpes 2 test.

This is a fingertip blood drop test, and you will have to collect a blood sample with the included sterile lancet.

Detecting genital herpes is important because antiviral drugs can relieve the patient’s symptoms.
