About Viral STDs Testing: HIV, Herpes & Hepatitis in Carson
What the Viral STDs Panel Measures
This panel uses blood and, where appropriate, other specimen types to detect viral infections that are commonly transmitted sexually. It includes testing for HIV Type 1 and Type 2, the viruses that cause herpes simplex infections (Type 1 and Type 2), and the hepatitis A, B, and C viruses. Each marker is evaluated separately, so the panel provides a broad view rather than a single result.
HIV Type 1 and Type 2 are retroviruses that attack the immune system. Herpes simplex Type 1 and Type 2 are closely related viruses that can cause oral or genital sores, though many people who carry them have no symptoms. Hepatitis A, B, and C are distinct viruses that affect the liver; they differ in how they spread and in how long the infection lasts.
Testing typically requires a blood sample, and some labs may also collect a swab if herpes lesions are present. Turnaround time is generally one to three business days. Preparation is minimal, but following the lab's specific instructions helps ensure accurate results. A positive result on any marker does not by itself indicate when the infection was acquired or how it will progress; that context comes from a healthcare provider.
