Order Viral STDs Testing: HIV, Herpes & HepatitisViral sexually transmitted diseases are caused by viruses rather than bacteria, and they cannot be cured with antibiotics. This panel screens for seven viral infections in a single blood draw: HIV Type 1 and Type 2, Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 and Type 2, and Hepatitis A, B, and C. Because these viruses can persist silently for years, testing is often the only way to know whether an infection is present.
About Viral STDs Testing: HIV, Herpes & Hepatitis in Hercules
What this panel measures
The panel uses blood specimens to detect antibodies or antigens associated with each virus. HIV testing typically combines a fourth-generation antigen/antibody screen, which can identify both HIV-1 and HIV-2. Herpes testing detects type-specific antibodies that distinguish HSV-1 from HSV-2, though antibody tests cannot determine when or where an infection was acquired.
Hepatitis A, B, and C are separate viruses with different transmission routes and health consequences. Hepatitis A is generally acute and resolves without chronic infection, while Hepatitis B and C can become long-term conditions that affect the liver. The panel reports each result separately, so a positive finding for one virus does not imply the presence of another.
Results usually return within one to three business days. Follow the lab's instructions before the draw, and discuss any reactive or positive result with a healthcare provider, who can order confirmatory testing and explain what the findings mean for your health.
