Order Viral STDs Testing: HIV, Herpes & HepatitisViral sexually transmitted diseases are caused by viruses that establish infection through mucosal or blood exposure and then follow distinct clinical courses. This panel brings together serologic and antigen-based assays for seven viral markers, covering HIV types 1 and 2, herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2, and hepatitis A, B, and C. Because these viruses can remain silent for long periods, laboratory testing is often the only way to identify an infection before complications or transmission occur.
About Viral STDs Testing: HIV, Herpes & Hepatitis in St. Cloud
What this panel measures
The panel combines individual assays into a single order: HIV-1/2 antibody and antigen testing, herpes simplex virus type-specific antibody testing for HSV-1 and HSV-2, and hepatitis testing that includes hepatitis A antibody, hepatitis B surface antigen and related markers, and hepatitis C antibody. Each component detects a different window of infection, so the panel is interpreted as a set of results rather than a single positive or negative finding.
HIV testing typically uses a fourth-generation assay that detects both p24 antigen and antibodies to HIV-1 and HIV-2, shortening the interval between exposure and detection compared with antibody-only methods. Herpes testing relies on type-specific IgG antibodies, which distinguish HSV-1 from HSV-2 and indicate prior exposure rather than active outbreak status. Hepatitis markers vary by virus: hepatitis A and C are assessed through antibodies, while hepatitis B testing includes surface antigen and antibody markers that together indicate current infection, past infection, or immunity.
Results are reported individually, and the pattern across markers matters. A reactive screening result generally requires confirmatory or supplemental testing, while non-reactive results must be considered alongside the timing of any possible exposure. Turnaround is typically one to three business days. Specimen requirements and any preparation instructions are set by the performing laboratory, and following those instructions helps ensure accurate results.
