About Viral STDs Testing: HIV, Herpes & Hepatitis in Salinas
Understanding what a viral STD profile measures helps put the results in context.
The panel screens for HIV Type 1 and Type 2, herpes simplex virus Type 1 and Type 2, and hepatitis A, B, and C. Each component relies on blood-based serology or antigen detection, which identifies the body's immune response or viral proteins rather than culturing the organism directly.
HIV testing generally detects antibodies to both major types, sometimes alongside the p24 antigen, which can appear earlier in infection. Herpes testing distinguishes Type 1, often associated with oral lesions, from Type 2, more commonly linked to genital infection, though either type can affect either site.
Hepatitis A, B, and C are distinct viruses with different transmission patterns and clinical courses. Hepatitis A is typically acute and self-limited, hepatitis B can be acute or chronic, and hepatitis C frequently becomes chronic. Screening for all three provides a clearer picture of liver-related viral exposure.
