Empower Your Diagnostic Capabilities with TrueNat™ HSV-1/2
The TrueNat™ HSV-1/2 is a state-of-the-art, chip-based Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) test developed for the semi-quantitative detection and differentiation of Herpes Simplex Virus type 1 (HSV-1) and type 2 (HSV-2). Designed for use by healthcare professionals, this in vitro diagnostic tool plays a crucial role in identifying HSV infections from genital swab and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) specimens, enabling prompt and effective clinical decision-making.
Herpes Simplex Viruses are prevalent pathogens, with HSV-1 typically associated with oral herpes (cold sores) but also a cause of genital herpes, and HSV-2 being the primary cause of genital herpes. Both types are lifelong infections and can be transmitted even when asymptomatic. Accurate and timely diagnosis is critical for patient management, counseling, and reducing transmission, especially given that HSV-2 infection can increase the risk of acquiring and transmitting HIV.
Key Features and Benefits of TrueNat™ HSV-1/2:
- Rapid Turnaround Time: Delivers accurate results in approximately one hour, significantly reducing waiting times and enabling faster patient intervention.
