About Viral STDs Testing: HIV, Herpes & Hepatitis in Flint
A viral STD panel uses blood and, when indicated, swab specimens to detect antibodies or viral genetic material.
The panel includes HIV Type 1 and Type 2, the two major strains of the virus that causes AIDS. Screening typically relies on a combination immunoassay, with any reactive result confirmed by a separate method to rule out a false positive.
Herpes Type 1 and Type 2 testing detects antibodies produced in response to the herpes simplex virus. Type 1 is classically associated with oral lesions and Type 2 with genital lesions, though either can infect either site. Antibody tests cannot determine when infection occurred or whether lesions are currently active.
Hepatitis A, B, and C are three distinct viruses that inflame the liver. Hepatitis A is generally transmitted through contaminated food or water and resolves without chronic infection. Hepatitis B and C can become long-term infections, so their presence is evaluated with antigen and antibody assays that distinguish current from past exposure.
