Understanding HSV-1&2 (Herpes Simplex Virus) DNA Detection by RT-PCR
Herpes simplex virus (HSV) is a lifelong infection transmitted through direct contact with oral/genital secretions. HSV-1 typically causes oral herpes, while HSV-2 causes genital herpes, though either can infect both areas.
The HSV-1&2 (Herpes Simplex Virus) DNA Detection by RT-PCR uses PCR to identify HSV DNA in blood samples, offering high precision for active infections.
This test is often performed when an individual exhibits symptoms suggestive of a herpes infection, such as sores or blisters around the mout...
