About Viral STDs Testing: HIV, Herpes & Hepatitis in Berkeley
This profile combines seven viral markers across three infection groups: HIV, herpes, and hepatitis.
HIV testing detects antibodies or antigens associated with HIV Type 1 and Type 2, the two major strains of the virus that causes AIDS. Screening is central to early diagnosis because a person can carry the virus for years without symptoms while remaining able to transmit it.
Herpes simplex virus testing distinguishes Type 1, historically linked to oral infections, from Type 2, historically linked to genital infections, though both can appear in either location. The viruses establish lifelong latency, so testing looks for the immune response rather than a transient presence of the virus.
Hepatitis A, B, and C are three distinct viruses that inflame the liver but spread and behave differently. Hepatitis A is typically acute and resolves, while hepatitis B and C can become chronic; blood testing identifies which virus is present and whether the infection appears recent or longstanding.
