What Does HVS Test Results Indicate?
Question: Good day doctor, I had a test done (HVS) it showed pus cells ++ and epithelial cells 0-6phf .
Brief Answer:
You aren't infected
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear and thanks for your query.
Cell culture for HVS is negative,this show that you are not infected by HSV.
Cell culture test may give a false-negative result if the sores have begun healing or if you are recently infected.
Hence if I was your treating doctor I would suggest to make PCR blood test after some weeks of healing .
The PCR blood test can tell if you have genital herpes even if you don't have symptoms.
The PCR test looks for pieces of the virus's DNA. This is the most common test used to diagnose genital herpes and is very accurate.
All the best
