Herpes & HPV Testing in Bangkok

Herpes is a viral infection caused by Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV-1 and HSV-2), leading to blisters or sores around the genitals, mouth, or anus.
HPV (Human Papillomavirus) is a group of over 100 viruses, some of which cause genital warts, while high-risk types can lead to cancer. Both infections are common and manageable with early diagnosis and treatment.

Transmission occurs through skin-to-skin or sexual contact, including oral, vaginal, or anal sex. Condoms reduce risk but do not offer full protection, as the virus can infect uncovered skin.

• Herpes: small blisters, itching, or burning around the genitals or mouth.

• HPV: often no symptoms; sometimes small growths or warts appear on the penis, groin, or anus.
  Even without visible signs, both viruses can be transmitted, that’s why testing is essential after any unprotected contact.

Testing is quick and confidential.
