Tests that measure Herpes Simplex Virus

Sexually-Transmitted Infections STIs Genital Lesion Panel

Laboratory: Quest Diagnostics
Test code: 38286
Specimen: Swab
Fasting: Not stated as required

What the laboratory says this test is for

This panel includes nucleic acid amplification testing for HSV-1, HSV-2, and Treponema pallidum in genital lesion swabs. Due to the overlapping clinical presentation of herpetic and syphilitic lesions, this panel can be used to aid in the identification of the most common etiological agents causing genital ulcer disease. A positive result is definitive diagnosis for the causative agent and a negative result may require additional testing.
