About Viral STDs Testing: HIV, Herpes & Hepatitis in Monterey
This panel uses blood testing to detect viral sexually transmitted infections, including HIV, herpes, and hepatitis.
The panel screens for HIV Type 1 and Type 2, the two main strains of the virus that causes AIDS. HIV testing typically looks for antibodies the immune system produces in response to the virus, or for viral components themselves, depending on the method used.
Herpes Type 1 and Type 2 testing detects antibodies to the viruses that cause oral and genital herpes. Because antibodies take time to develop after exposure, the timing of a test relative to possible exposure can affect results.
Hepatitis A, B, and C testing looks for markers of these three distinct viruses, which affect the liver in different ways. Hepatitis A is typically transmitted through contaminated food or water, while hepatitis B and C are transmitted through blood and sexual contact.
