Genital Herpes - Home Test Kit

The Genital Herpes Home Test Kit is a diagnostic tool designed for private, at-home testing to detect the presence of herpes simplex virus (HSV) types 1 and 2. It helps individuals confirm whether they may have a genital herpes infection without visiting a clinic.

This test is intended for adults and is not a substitute for professional medical advice.

Important Information

Do NOT use if:

• You are under 18 years of age.
• You have open sores or bleeding at the testing site (unless the kit instructions specifically allow swabbing such areas).
• The kit is damaged or past its expiry date.

Check with a healthcare professional before use if:

• You are pregnant or breastfeeding.
• You have a weakened immune system.
• You have recently been diagnosed with another sexually transmitted infection.

How To Use

• Follow the step-by-step instructions provided in the kit carefully.
• Collect the sample as instructed (usually a swab from the genital area).
• Send the sample to the designated laboratory if the kit requires mailing, or use the included testing device for immediate results, depending on the kit type.
• Record or interpret the results according to the provided instructions.

Warnings

• For personal use only; do not share the kit with others.
• Keep out of reach of children.
• A positive result should be confirmed with a healthcare professional.
• Negative results do not completely rule out infection, especially if exposure was recent.

Possible Outcomes

• Positive – HSV infection detected; consult a healthcare professional for confirmation, treatment, and advice on preventing transmission.
• Negative – No HSV detected at the time of testing; retesting may be recommended if symptoms develop later or exposure was recent.

Note

The Genital Herpes Home Test Kit provides a convenient and private method to check for HSV infection. It is important to follow up with a qualified healthcare professional for confirmation, advice, and treatment if needed.
