This laboratory test measures the amount of herpes simplex virus genetic material present in a patient sample, giving a numeric viral load rather than just a positive or negative result. It's used to track how active an infection is or to monitor how well treatment is working, particularly in people with severe or recurrent outbreaks or a weakened immune system. The test uses a gene-based amplification method for high sensitivity.
