Body Paragraph Title

What to expect from herpes testing

Diagnostic testing for herpes simplex virus helps identify active infections or past exposure, which can cause recurring symptoms and discomfort. At Mayfield Clinic Amersham, we provide private herpes testing alongside comprehensive management advice to reduce outbreak frequency and transmission risk. Our clinicians explain test options, discuss results clearly, and tailor a management plan to your needs. For context on where this sits within broader sexual health care, you can read about our Sexual health services in Amersham.

Testing can form part of a discreet check-up if you’re experiencing symptoms such as genital sores, itching, or flu-like symptoms during an outbreak. We use evidence-based approaches to support you, from diagnostic testing to practical steps for reducing outbreaks.
