Herpes II Lab Testing Services
Whether a doctor has suggested that you get tested for Herpes, or you simply want to know more about your own
health, we're here to help. This test is available at our labs in Baton
Rouge and surrounding areas.
Why The Test is
Suggested:
This test may be done if you have a blister or vesicle on your
genitals. This is opposed to Type 1 Herpes, in which
blisters appear on your lips. In some cases, people with
Type 2 Herpes may have blistering on their lips. Testing may also be done
on pregnant mothers and newborns, if the baby shows signs of
Herpes infection such as lesions on the skin.
It's estimated that as many
as one in five adults in America have been exposed to Type 2
Herpes. It can be spread through sexual contact, or from a
mother to her baby during birth.
As many as
two-thirds of people infected with Type 2 Herpes may show no
symptoms. The first signs of Herpes II is a cluster of
blisters in your genital area, such as the head of the penis,
anus, labia or cervix. These blisters spread, break, and
then crust over within days to weeks. The sores can become
painful and itchy, and the fluid released from them is
infectious.
Other symptoms may
include:
-
Pain while urinating
-
Vaginal discharge
-
Urethral discharge
-
Swollen lymph nodes
-
Headache
-
Fever & Chills
