This panel screens for seven viral infections in a single blood draw: HIV Type 1 and Type 2, Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 and Type 2, and Hepatitis A, B, and C. Because these viruses can remain silent for long periods, testing is often the only way to know whether an infection is present.
About Viral STDs Testing: HIV, Herpes & Hepatitis in Waterloo
A viral STD screen looks for the body's immune response to viral infections, or for viral genetic material, depending on the specific test used.
HIV Type 1 and Type 2 are retroviruses that attack the immune system. Standard screening detects antibodies or a combination of antibodies and viral antigens, and results may take time to become reactive after exposure.
Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 and Type 2 are common and often asymptomatic. Blood tests detect antibodies to the virus, which can distinguish between the two types but cannot determine when or where an infection was acquired.
Hepatitis A, B, and C are distinct viruses that affect the liver. Hepatitis A is typically short-lived, while Hepatitis B and C can become chronic. Screening usually involves antibody tests, with additional testing to confirm an active infection when indicated.
