Order Viral STDs Testing: HIV, Herpes & HepatitisViral sexually transmitted diseases are caused by viruses rather than bacteria or parasites, and they cannot be cured with antibiotics. This profile screens for seven viral infections in a single panel: HIV Type 1 and Type 2, Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 and Type 2, and Hepatitis A, B, and C. Because these viruses can be present without producing noticeable symptoms, laboratory testing is often the only way to know an individual's status.
About Viral STDs Testing: HIV, Herpes & Hepatitis in Parma
What the Viral STDs Testing panel measures
The panel uses blood and, where indicated, swab or urine specimens to detect viral markers. HIV Type 1 and Type 2 testing typically looks for antibodies and, in some assays, the p24 antigen, which can appear earlier than antibodies. Herpes Type 1 and Type 2 testing generally relies on type-specific IgG antibodies that distinguish between the two viruses, though the viruses can also be detected directly from active lesions.
Hepatitis A, B, and C testing combines antibody and antigen or nucleic acid markers depending on the virus. Hepatitis A is identified by IgM and IgG antibodies; Hepatitis B by surface antigen, surface antibody, and core antibody; and Hepatitis C by antibody screening with reflex to RNA testing when reactive. Each marker carries a different meaning, and results are interpreted together rather than in isolation.
Timing matters because the body does not produce detectable antibodies immediately after exposure. The window period varies by virus, so a negative result collected too early may not reflect the final status. A healthcare provider can advise on appropriate retesting intervals and on whether vaccination, treatment, or additional confirmatory testing is warranted.
