Take a test for herpes simplex virus type 1,2 (herpes simplex virus, hsv), igm antibodies in Kyiv, Med-Help clinic

Herpes simplex virus (HSV) is a virus that causes diseases of the skin and mucous membranes. It exists in two types: HSV-1, which usually causes shingles around the lips, and HSV-2, which usually causes genital herpes. However, both types can cause infections in different parts of the body. Herpes simplex infection is common and highly contagious.

The herpes simplex virus test involves checking for the presence of IgM antibodies in the blood. IgM are antibodies that the body begins to produce in response to an infection. Their presence may indicate that the infection has occurred recently. However, IgM test results should always be supplemented by other tests, as they can be false positive or false negative. For a more accurate result, you can take an IgG test, which indicates the presence of antibodies in the blood over a long period of time.

At the Med-Help clinic in Kyiv, you can undergo testing for the herpes simplex virus, including testing for IgM antibodies. The test is quick and painless, and the results are ready within a few days. The clinic’s doctors are ready to advise on any questions related to testing and treatment of herpes simplex infection.
