Human Herpesvirus 6 PCR Test in Chicago, Illinois

Same day and Affordable Human Herpesvirus 6 PCR Test, Locations Nationwide

Concerned that you or someone you know has been exposed to the herpesvirus 6? Request A Test offers a confidential and affordable Human Herpesvirus 6 PCR Test in Chicago, IL. This test looks for Human Herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) by screening for viral DNA in the blood. HHV-6 is a member of the Herpes family of viruses. Information on how HHV-6 is spread is limited but research has found that the majority of people are infected when they are very young. The most common form of transmission is through saliva but it can be transmitted through sexual contact as well. Once a person is infected, the virus remains in their system for the rest of their life. The virus will typically remain latent but can reactivate later in life and may be related to a variety of health issues, especially in people whose immune systems are compromised.

This test looks for HHV-6 viral DNA by using the PCR method. Viral DNA will typically be present if a person has ever been exposed to HHV-6. Results for this test can help determine if a person has contracted the virus at some point in the past but cannot differentiate between an active or latent infection. We offer two PCR tests. The HHV 6 PCR Qualitative Test provides a positive or negative result without any numerical value. For a PCR test with numerical results, please order our HHV 6 PCR Quantitative Test. An HHV-6 IgM Antibody Test is more accurate at determining if a person has or has recently had an active infection.
