Herpes test, anyone?

Herpes as it is popularly known is caused by the Herpes simplex virus. There are two strains of Herpes simplex virus namely type 1 and type 2. The Herpes simplex virus type 1 is typically the cause of blisters in the mouth and lip area. It is transmitted through the saliva of an infected individual. Herpes simplex virus type 2 on the other hand is the more common cause of genital herpes that is why it is affects the genital and the rectal area. This can be transmitted through sexual contact or via vaginal birth from an infected mother to her baby. Herpes is a virus that can not be truly cured but it can be managed and controlled with anti-viral medication Zovirax (acyclovir) or Valtex (valacyclovir). If you are experiencing blisters that are recurrent and is usually accompanied by itching and burning sensation then maybe it’s time to rule out herpes. If you like, you could even go online and go to online clinics to have your Herpes Test. The on line clinic that you have chosen would have a Herpes Testing form Urine Sample for you. This is ideal especially for those patients who do not like being extracted for blood samples. Just remember this test, using your urine sample, will only provide a positive result if the virus is currently active. The active virus will typically show symptoms like small blisters but not this is not always the case, some positive patients may not show any signs or symptoms unless they get tested, they may never know that they even have the disease.
