Order Viral STDs Testing: HIV, Herpes & HepatitisViral sexually transmitted diseases are caused by viruses rather than bacteria, and they include some of the most common infections tracked in sexual health. This panel screens for seven viral markers in a single set of specimens: 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, testing is often the only way to know a person's status.
About Viral STDs Testing: HIV, Herpes & Hepatitis in Gilbert
What the viral STDs panel measures
The panel uses blood and, where appropriate, swab specimens to detect viral markers. HIV Type 1 and Type 2 testing looks for antibodies and, depending on the assay, antigens that indicate exposure to the virus. Herpes Type 1 and Type 2 testing detects antibodies that distinguish between the two strains, which helps clarify whether an infection is oral or genital in origin.
Hepatitis A, B, and C testing relies on a combination of antibody and antigen or nucleic acid markers. Hepatitis A and B are screened through antibody and surface antigen tests, while Hepatitis C is typically screened with an antibody test and confirmed with a viral load when reactive. Each marker is reported separately, so a reactive result on one does not imply a result on another.
Viral STDs differ from bacterial STDs in that they cannot be cured with antibiotics. Some, such as Hepatitis A, resolve on their own; others, including HIV and Hepatitis B and C, can be managed with antiviral therapy. Herpes is managed with antiviral medication that reduces outbreaks and transmission risk. Screening results guide these clinical decisions and are interpreted alongside a person's history and risk factors.
