A member asked:

Does the hsv swab naat test conclude the site of infection? in theory, if a lot of discharge was on the swab, could it not detect infection elsewhere?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Immaterial: The test will detect the presence of HSV at the site from which the swab was taken. However, HSV has access to your whole body and it does not much matter where the primary site of infection is or was. For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex.
