Genital Herpes (HSV-2) is a common sexually transmitted infection caused by the Herpes Simplex Virus Type 2. HSV-2 infects the skin and nerves, most often around the genitals and anus, and can lie dormant in the body for long periods before reactivating and causing painful outbreaks. Many people don’t realize they’re infected because they never develop noticeable symptoms, yet they can still spread the virus. Early diagnosis is key to managing outbreaks, reducing transmission risk (HSV-2 triples the risk of acquiring HIV), and avoiding serious complications.

Symptoms & Complications

• Asymptomatic: Most HSV-2 infections show no signs at all, yet a person can still be contagious.

• Mild: Itching or tingling in the genital area; burning sensation; small fluid-filled blisters or ulcers; mild flu-like symptoms such as low fever or headache.

• Severe: Widespread painful open sores, difficulty urinating due to urethral sores, nerve pain in the lower back or legs, flu-like aches, and swollen groin lymph nodes.

• Untreated Risks: Recurrent outbreaks (the virus remains for life), higher HIV susceptibility (genital herpes infection increases HIV acquisition risk), potential permanent nerve damage from severe infections, and neonatal herpes (if a mother transmits HSV to her baby during birth, it can cause serious neurologic disability or even death).

Early & Repeat Testing Recommended

• Window Period Testing: Use two test kits if you think you’ve been exposed. Test once soon after exposure (or when symptoms first appear) to check for an early infection.

• Confirmatory Test: Retest about six weeks post-exposure for full accuracy, since it can take time for HSV-2 antibodies to reach detectable levels.

Partner Testing Encouraged: Both you and your partner should test, as herpes is often passed by individuals unaware they have it. Mutual testing helps prevent unknowingly spreading the virus and allows both partners to take precautions.

How It Works

• Collect Sample: Use the provided safety lancet to do a quick finger-prick and collect a small drop of blood.

• Apply & Wait: Place the blood drop on the test strip and add a couple of drops of the included test solution. Wait 15 minutes.

• Read Results: Check for clear indicator lines (per instructions) showing positive or negative for HSV-2 antibodies, no lab analysis required. A built-in control line assures the test worked properly.
