Herpes testing in Hyderabad

Herpes is a very common viral STI that causes outbreaks of sores on and around the mouth and genitals. Most people tend to contract the infection through kissing or sexual contact, like unprotected vaginal sex.

At Better2Know’s Hyderabad clinic, getting tested for Herpes is easy. A simple blood test can be used to detect the infection. While Herpes cannot be cured, symptoms experienced during outbreaks can be lessened with antiviral medication.

For more information on Herpes testing, call our 24/7 helpline.

Can I still have sex if I have an STI?

If you think you have an STI, stop having sex and get tested. Continuing to have sex could spread the infection, putting your sexual partners at risk of health complications.
