The HSV-1 qualitative PCR test detects the genetic material (DNA) of HSV-1 in a patient’s sample (such as blood, lesion swab, or cerebrospinal fluid).

TAT Policy
The Turnaround Time (TAT) depends on the following factors:

In uncommon circumstances, TAT may be delayed due to test complexity or reasons beyond our control. You will be informed of the estimated TAT at the time of registration.
