PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) technology “amplifies” tiny fragments of viral DNA so they can be identified. This test can distinguish between the two primary strains:
- HSV-1: Typically associated with oral herpes (cold sores).
- HSV-2: Typically associated with genital herpes.
Because it detects the virus itself, it can identify an infection even when symptoms are very mild or before your body has produced any antibodies.
