Description
HSV (Herpes Simplex Virus) is a common viral infection that causes painful sores or blisters on the skin. This virus can infect various parts of the human body, including the mouth, lips, and genitals. There are two main types of this virus: HSV-1 and HSV-2, also known as herpes 1 & 2. HSV-1 affects the area around the mouth and is known as oral herpes. It is usually transmitted through saliva and can spread by sharing forks, spoons, cups, or towels. HSV-2, on the other hand, causes painful sores in the genital area and is a sexually transmitted infection. The Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) test is performed to determine if an individual has been exposed to this virus. The HSV IgM test, or serum HSV test, detects the presence of antibodies against either HSV-1 or HSV-2 in the person’s body. A negative HSV test result means the person has neither an active nor a past infection. A positive result, on the other hand, indicates that the person’s body has developed antibodies against this virus. At Max Lab, we offer the HSV test at a reasonable price. One can check all the details online and book an HSV lab test in the most hassle-free manner.HSV (Herpes Simplex Virus) is a common viral infection that causes painful sores or blisters on the skin.
