When To Seek HSV Testing

Because HSV can present differently from person to person, testing is the best way to confirm whether the virus is present. Our West Colfax clinic evaluates and treats many common herpes-related symptoms, including:

• Painful or fluid-filled blisters around the mouth or genital area
• Tingling, itching, or burning before sores appear
• Swollen or tender lymph nodes
• Flu-like symptoms such as fever or body aches
• Discomfort while urinating
• Redness, irritation, or general soreness in affected areas

Whether symptoms are mild or severe, early evaluation helps provide faster relief and reduces the risk of spreading the virus to others.

What To Expect During HSV Testing at AFC Denver West Colfax

Your visit begins with a private conversation with one of our medical providers. During this discussion, you’ll have the opportunity to explain symptoms, exposure concerns, and any questions you may have about the testing process.

Depending on your symptoms, your provider may:

• Perform a physical exam

PCR Blood Testing for HSV-1 and HSV-2

At AFC Urgent Care Denver West Colfax, we perform PCR blood testing, which looks for genetic material from the virus.
