What is a Genital Ulcer Test?
Genital herpes is one of the most common STDs that first appears in the form of one or more rashes and blisters in the genital areas.
Sometimes the cold sores or blisters might appear around mouth or lips.
The location of these ulcers depends on the type of herpes simplex virus. Herpes simplex virus type 2 or HSV2 is the known to cause genital ulcers.
However, the only definite way to confirm these symptoms is through a test that can identify the type of virus.
Because their is no cure for herpes--and a life-long adherence to antivirals is the only solution--it's can be very helpful to know the type of HSV virus.
Similarly, syphilis can also cause ulcers over the body including around genitals, due to infection from the bacteria T. pallidum.
Sometimes the ulcers can be deep and painful. They are generally caused another bacteria H. ducreyi from an STD called chancroid.
Therefore, presence of genital ulcers can be very confusing by simply looking at the symptoms alone.
A definite way to confirm the diagnosis and take appropriate treatment, is by getting tested and finding out the exact cause of them.
The treatment, whether to take antivirals or antibacterials can only be possible through appropriate diagnosis.
A genital ulcer test can help you get the treatment quickly and reduce the risk of complications from these STDs.
What does a Genital Ulcer Test measure?
A Genital Ulcer Disease Panel measures the following:
Type of herpes simplex virus - HSV1 or HSV2 subtype have completely different symptoms or treatment plans. Almost half of the world's population is infected with HSV1 and almost half-a-billion people have HSV2. Because there is no cure for herpes, and they can increase the risk of getting more serious infections, it can be important to know the correct type.
Syphilis - infection from T. pallidum which often causes chancre or painless skin rashes.
Chancroid - an rare infection caused by H. ducreyiwhich can appear as deep, painful genital ulcers.

This is done through regularly testing reference samples between different labs. Finally, the labs test thousands of sample for different age groups and health conditions, and have well established reference data to compare your results against this large pool.
