Private Herpes Testing in London

Understanding Herpes

Herpes is a common viral infection caused by HSV-1 and HSV-2. It often affects the mouth or genitals and can be passed on even when symptoms are not present. Many people carry the virus without knowing it. At Medical & Dental, we provide confidential herpes testing tailored to your situation, helping you take control of your sexual health with clarity and confidence.

Why Herpes Testing Is Important?

• Many people with herpes have no symptoms, which makes regular testing essential
• Early detection can help manage the condition and reduce the risk of passing it on
• A confirmed diagnosis allows for treatment options that minimise outbreaks and improve quality of life
• It also supports open and informed conversations with partners

Who Should Get Tested?

You may want to consider testing if you:

• Have had unprotected sex
• Notice tingling, itching, or sores around the mouth or genital area
• Are concerned after a partner’s diagnosis
• Want reassurance before starting a new relationship
• Are experiencing flu-like symptoms after recent sexual activity

How Is Herpes Transmitted?

The virus is spread through:

• Vaginal, anal, or oral sex
• Kissing
• Direct contact with infected skin or fluids
• Sharing sex toys

Transmission can occur even when symptoms are not visible.
