FAQs
What does the Genital Herpes Test screen for? 
It evaluates your symptoms and sexual history to assess whether you may have herpes simplex virus (HSV), typically HSV-2.
Who should take this test?
Anyone with symptoms such as genital blisters, ulcers, tingling, or recurrent pain should consider this screening.
What are the symptoms of genital herpes?
Common signs include clusters of painful blisters, sores, tingling, itching, or flu-like symptoms during the first outbreak.
How does the screening work?
You answer questions about symptoms, frequency, sexual behaviour, and medical history. The results help indicate whether clinical herpes testing is advised.
Can this diagnose herpes?
No. It’s a screening tool. A swab or blood test from a healthcare provider is needed for diagnosis.
How long does the test take?
About 5–10 minutes, depending on your responses.
What if I test positive for likely herpes?
You should visit a clinic for formal diagnosis and discuss treatment options like antiviral medication.
Is herpes curable?
Herpes is not curable, but outbreaks can be managed with antiviral treatments, and transmission risk can be reduced.
Is the test confidential?
Yes. All information is securely stored and remains private.
Can I take this if I don’t currently have symptoms?
Yes, particularly if you’ve had past outbreaks or a partner with herpes. However, clinical testing is most accurate during active symptoms.
