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
