AID HSV 1+2 PCR kit – PCR detection of and differentiation between HSV 1 + 2

Sensitive detection of HSV1 and HSV2

Infections of humans with Herpes simplex Virus (HSV) are very frequent. Transmission takes place by aerosol or by contact often already at childhood.

There are two human HSV genotypes: HSV1 mainly causes Herpes labialis. Seroprevalence is nearly 90% in adults.
