What this test checks

HSV 1 & 2 Active Infection (Swab): what you get

PCR testing of a swab taken directly from an active sore or blister to detect a current HSV-1 or HSV-2 outbreak. Unlike the antibody blood test, which shows previous exposure, this test finds the virus itself at the site, the right choice when you have a sore right now.

Who should get tested

  • Anyone with a current sore or blister
  • People mid-outbreak who want a definitive answer
  • People whose partner has herpes and who now have symptoms

Straight answers

The three things people ask before they book

Can I use my HSA or FSA card?

Yes. HSA and FSA cards are accepted at checkout, along with Apple Pay, Google Pay, and all major cards.

What if a result is positive?

We'll connect you with treatment options. Most STDs are curable, and all of them are manageable, knowing is what makes treatment possible.

Will this show up on my insurance or medical record?

No. Testing is self-pay, nothing is billed to insurance and nothing is added to your medical record.
