Herpes (HSV-1 / HSV-2) is a common viral infection that can affect the genital area or mouth. At South Kensington Medical & Dental, we provide discreet, reliable private herpes testing in a comfortable clinical setting.
Whether you’ve had symptoms or simply want peace of mind, we deliver confidential consultations, accurate diagnostics, and supportive guidance every step of the way.
Herpes is caused by Herpes Simplex Virus types 1 (HSV-1) or 2 (HSV-2). While HSV-1 often causes cold sores, it can also infect the genital area. HSV-2 is more commonly responsible for genital herpes. Once infected, the virus remains in your body, but symptoms can be managed and transmission reduced through treatment and care.
Symptoms may appear 2–14 days after exposure, though many people show no symptoms. Possible signs include:
Genital Herpes (HSV-1 or HSV-2):
Oral Herpes:

Your sample is sent to UK-accredited labs. Standard results are usually available within 2–4 working days, depending on the test type.
If positive, our clinicians will explain your result, offer treatment options (e.g. antivirals like aciclovir), and help you manage future outbreaks.
