Frequently Asked Questions

A positive result suggests a recent or acute infection with Herpes Simplex Virus 1 (HSV-1). However, clinical correlation is essential.

This test is primarily intended for aiding in the diagnosis of suspected HSV-1 infections, not for routine screening of asymptomatic individuals.

A negative result does not necessarily exclude HSV-1 infection, and false positive results can occur. Confirmatory testing is recommended.
