About Viral STDs Testing: HIV, Herpes & Hepatitis in Downey
This panel screens for seven viral sexually transmitted infections using blood and other specimen types.
The panel covers HIV Type 1 and Type 2, Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 and Type 2, and Hepatitis A, B, and C. Each of these viruses can be transmitted through sexual contact, though their routes of transmission and typical clinical courses differ.
HIV attacks specific immune cells and can remain asymptomatic for years while still being transmissible. Herpes simplex viruses establish latent infections in nerve tissue and can reactivate periodically, producing lesions or no symptoms at all. Hepatitis A, B, and C each affect the liver, but they spread differently and carry different long-term risks; hepatitis B and C in particular can become chronic.
Because viral infections cannot be cured with antibiotics, testing serves a different purpose than it does for bacterial STDs. Results help distinguish which virus is present, guide medical management, and inform partners who may also need evaluation.
