Genital and Oral Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections, yet many people delay testing due to stigma, fear, or inconvenience. This at-home rapid combo test kit detects both Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 (HSV-1) and Type 2 (HSV-2) antibodies with 98.2% accuracy, providing fast, private results without the need for a lab visit.
Combo Detection:
- HSV-1 (Oral Herpes) – Often causes cold sores or blisters around the lips or mouth, but may also appear in the genital area through oral contact
- HSV-2 (Genital Herpes) – Typically causes painful sores, itching, and recurring outbreaks in the genital region, but can also be found orally
Although HSV-1 is commonly associated with oral infections and HSV-2 with genital outbreaks, both types can appear in either location. Some individuals experience blisters, itching, and burning, while others remain asymptomatic and unknowingly transmit the virus to others.
If left undiagnosed, herpes can lead to frequent painful outbreaks, increased susceptibility to HIV, and in rare cases, complications such as encephalitis or vision loss. In pregnant women, an active herpes infection can be passed to the baby during childbirth, potentially resulting in severe neonatal herpes.
While herpes is a lifelong condition, early detection allows for effective management, reduced outbreaks, and lower transmission risk. This combo self-test kit is easy to use and provides a private, reliable way to take control of your sexual health at home.
