Herpes II is the most responsible type of herpes for genital STD infection. Our test specificity has been compared to western blot technique, highly specific to minimize false positive result. If you have preliminary positive result by different lab then we could also confirm the accuracy of your result. No confusing Range number for interpretation of test, No indeterminate result unlike herpes elisa and select, with our test either you are POSITIVE or NEGATIVE in 10 minutes. 

 

Warning Against Herpes IgM testing: IgM test is non reliable test for diagnosis of herpes, recently many online STD testing sales companies try to promote Herpes IgM testing and misinform patients Go To Detail information section

Our Herpes Test Accuracy:

Majority of herpes 2 test by different  lab is by antibody detection by Elisa method such as select IgG. The problem we were facing was we had to interpret the result based on range of numbers for example below 0.9 negative, 0.9-1.1 indeterminate, and above 1.1 being positive. We used to get indeterminate and low positive and patient turned out to be sometimes negative and sometimes positive. This was confusing for our patients. They wanted to know if they are simply positive or negative. Finally on Feb. 2007 we decided to incorporate our current immunoassay testing system which has been compared to western blot (getting done in University of Washington) into our laboratory. Patient come to our clinic with one main question "do I have herpes 2 or not?" and they want "Yes" or "No" for answer. We give that answer with better confident in about 10 minutes now.  

 

Herpes is a disease that must get evaluated by experience doctor. Just get tested through blood

as general rule does not provide conclusion for your concern.  False negatives and false positives could be common,

the results have to be weighed together with the clinical presentation and patient's history; with the currently available

 tests neither a negative nor a positive can ever be absolute. Your time of exposure, history, and clinical presentation will

 assist us to choose the right test ( Tzank smear, WB, Elisa;recent or remote antibody, rapid assay, Type specific culture)

for you.

  What is Herpes? Herpes is a sexually transmitted disease which get transmitted by virus called HSV or

Herpes simplex Virus. There are 2 type of Herpes virus, type 1 and type 2

 

Herpes evaluation by examination ?

The most important part of herpes evaluation is experience doctor examination. We have diagnosed many patients with herpes with just physical examination and patients was treated on the same day without even testing ( great saving for non-insured patients).

 

 

is herpes just a Dermatological disease ? No, it is beyond that , It is a viral infection that will stay

with you for lifetime. The skin rash is just manifestation of this infection. You may not have any dermatological symptom to begin with. You could infect your other part of your body by contact ( for example you could get eye infection, Herpes conjunctivitis). You could develop secondary bacterial infection, or it might put you on higher risk of getting other STDs as well. We do not just consider dermatological aspect of herpes, we approach it

systemically we will answer all your questions.

Herpes Virus: 

It is an enveloped virus with DNA with fragile membrane. The herpes virus with damage

envelope is not as infectious . It easily fall apart and virus could only be obtain by direct mucosa contact.

 It means it is unlikely to get it with sharing dishes or going to public bathroom. Herpes virus invade human

 body by direct mucosa/ skin contact. The Virus use host cell for reproduction and destroy the host cell, as

 result the classic symptom of blister formation (if symptomatic) tingling and pain occur.

    

Herpes and condom risk in male: Although condom is must but it does not provide full protection against herpes. Penile base shaft and scrotum skin which do not get covered by rubber would make you expose to herpes sore.

Herpes and condom risk in female:  Although condom is must but it does not provide full protection against herpes sores. When male sexual organ is fully penetrated you may get contacted with penile base and scrotum skin.

 

Can I have herpes and not knowing and infect others? Yes, you could and there are tests to find out about that. We always tell to our patients. If you have been infected with herpes and never develop any rash or complication then you just have a "quiet roommate" and as time passes by and you continue to be asymptomatic then maybe you are lucky, however, your "quite roommate" may not be that quite if travel from your body to your sexual partner and become his/her number one enemy with recurrent herpes outbreak and complications. Herpes could infect different part of the body and not just sexual organ following is the example of herpes on eyelid.

 

Herpes Symptom:

tingling around genital area , rash , swelling lymph node, vaginal/ penile discharge, burning upon urinating

 

 

Herpes Diagnosis:  There are few different techniques that we use to come up with clear answer such as obtaining direct sample culture, antibody testing, DNA PCR western blot, screening and titer and most important of all experience physician examination with dermascopy. We frequently see patient with nonspecific test report from online lab vender without doctor evaluation or ordering the test with just adding to patient confusion. Patients are often emotional and we understand this well and would try our best to answer all the specific detail questions. We make sure you leave our clinic happy with clear answers and plan.

 

Is Herpes type-1 just infect oral area? Not necessarily, most of oral region herpes infection is HSV-1 but it does not mean it can not infect other part of the body. In other words, herpes type 1 commonly infect labial area but you could get herpes type 1 on your genital as well.

 

Could Herpes Type 1 become Type 2? No, Never. Herpes type 1 regardless of location will stay type 1 and type 2 will stay type 2.

 

Can I kill Herpes virus ? No, You can not. No mater what anybody claims. It will die when the host dies. In other words, it will stay with the patient as long as he / she is alive.

 

Oral Sex: You could receive or give herpes by giving or receiving oral sex. Herpes Type 1 is labial herpes but it could live on genital area or Type 2 is mostly genital but could infect oral. If you have type 1 herpes with recurrent cold sores and you perform oral sex on your partner then your partner could develop genital herpes with type 1. Interesting enough your partner could possibly transmit his/her new type 1 genital herpes back to you but this time you get it back on your genital !

 

 

 

How to find out your partner has herpes? Upon our experience , unfortunately, many people won't inform their new partner about their herpes status till after getting intimate.

They simply afraid of rejection despite herpes is being very common. The best way is to ask your partner open ended questions prior to sex, such as :  "I have heard Herpes is very common , what do you think about it ? then she or he may start the conversation easier then you will find out. Do not ask directly such as " Do you have herpes ?" Always be gentle and start slow on STD conversation then you could ask harder questions.

  

 

 

Psychological aspect of herpes: Newly diagnosed herpes patient may feel depress, anxious, guilty, they think they are the only one in the world they have herpes, we assure you that you are not. It is unlikely people walk around and tell to their friend, classmate, relative, co-worker that they have herpes. It is unspoken and in this way you feel lonely , about 20% of American have herpes. It is this psychological pressure which fuel the recurrent outbreak of herpes.

 

Is Herpes could infect other part of the human body: Yes, for example, If your partner has genital herpes and sit on your abdomen , you may get herpes on the contact area. We had similar patient with herpes on umbilical area.

 

Anal Herpes: You could also get herpes on anus, unprotected anal sex could contribute to this infection.

 

Digit Herpetic Sores: Herpes could appears as out break on fingers. Touching herpes rash could lead to this type of infection.

 

Herpes and HIV? Herpes infection fuel the spread of HIV. so herpes infected individuals are at higher risk to get infected with HIV. If you have herpes sore then your immune system would try to heal the sore. HIV will easily infect those immune cells so if vaginal fluid, oral fluid , blood, semen comes in contact with herpes sores then it could infect the patient with HIV. Aids patient may gets aggressive herpes out break as well. Herpes Case Scenario ( we have seen many similar patients in our clinic )

Mary and John are happily married for 7 years and he or she noticed herpes like rash on his/her genitalia. These are possible questions and concern:

1)Is it really Herpes ?

2)Is he / she been promiscuous ? why herpes now after 7 years of marriage ?

3)Is there possibility that other partner develops herpes in future?

4)Could get tested to find out that one partner has positive asymptomatic herpes infection?

5)Is this old or new infection ? is there any test that could say it is old or new infection ?

6) could this herpes is as result of transmission of mouth cold sore ? If yes ? then could get tested

to find out about mouth herpes ? or mouth type of herpes on genitalia ?

                                            ---------News---------

Many people with HIV are also infected with the herpes type 2 virus

Herpes Treatment: We will take many elements into our consideration before initiating treatment. We assure our patients that we do not treat them based on pharmaceutical company advertising promotions for FDA approved or non approved medicines. Unfortunately there are various pharmaceutical companies try to advertise their product and some are not as effective as described and some are Non-FDA approved. Due to our clinical experience first episode of herpes is the most important one for long-term treatment and suppression. We treat many herpes patients and our considerable experience will be invaluable to you. Remember not all herpes infected patients are same for treatment plan.

No symptom STD
Sexually transmitted diseases may or may not be symptomatic.
you may be a carrier of bacterial STD or viral infection such as

Chlamydia or Herpes or HIV but you may not have any symptoms.

Your new partner may get infected by you and become symptomatic

or the other way around.

 

....................UPDATE.....................


1. IgM will be negative in many patients who recently acquired herpes but have culture-document first episodes. ( doctor could do culture which could directly detect herpes particle)

 

2. IgM tests cannot accurately distinguish between HSV-1 and HSV-2 antibodies, and thus very easily provide a false positive result for HSV-2. Most adult population in the U.S. already has antibodies to

HSV-1, the primary cause of oral herpes. A person who only has HSV-1 antibody all his/her life may get false belief of got infected with HSV-2 as IgM might become positive.

 

3. IgM tests may cross-react with other viruses in the same family, such as varicella zoster virus (VZV) which causes chickenpox or cytomegalovirus (CMV) which causes mono, meaning that positive results may be misleading.

 

4. IgM has short life so there is small window period that appears and disappear , so person could have been infected with herpes and get negative IgM .

In conclusion, we do not recommend to use Herpes IGM for any diagnosis of types specific herpes


 

Safe Sex
Although condom use is a must, you may still get STD even when using

a protective condom. Bacteria and specially viruses are so small, they could

easily slip through the condom ring around the penile shaft or when the

condom is removed or infect area which does not have coverage, however,

use protection for vaginal, oral or anal sex is highly recommended. Protection

against different STD varies with condom. For example it may decrease the

chance of NGU transmission but not much of help for molluscum or genital wart

on base of penile and pubic area.

The only way to prevent STDs is by not having sex at all. If you do have sex, you can

 lower your risk by only having sex with (1) someone who doesn't have an STD and

(2) isn't having sex with anyone else. Be careful of using your partner and always

use protection. PUBLIC HEALTH, CA link

Testimonials  

(The following patients were seen recently in our clinic, and are just some examples of numerous

other similar praises.)

 

" I flew 3000 miles to see Dr.Arani, he was only doctor that identified my condition, more

importantly he was very sincere during this ordeal".

J.R   Florida

 

My visit to your office in March 2009 was everything I expected and more. Yourself and your staff were very proffessional, friendly, and answred all my questions and concerns completely which made my travel from New York

to California 100% perfect. Matt, S New York

 

After being declared HIV positive by one of the world’s most renowned medical institutions, I came to your lab for a second opinion. Within 30 minutes, you were able to administer and return the results of an FDA approved test that showed that the original lab had made a mistake. After a week, the original lab called to tell me that I was in fact HIV negative and that they had made a mistake. The piece of mind your facility provided was crucial in helping me get through one of the most difficult weeks of my life.

Nic, Los Angeles CA 11/18/2008

 

".... I had over 50 warts :-/ ..After a few treatments, I've finally gained my self confidence back. It's a pretty embarrassing thing to have, but I'll have to say that Dr. Arani made me feel very comfortable in office from day 1. The removal of the warts healed quickly and after a few months could not even tell that I had even had them. Just ask to see his before and after photos. I would not hesitate to recommend him to my friends (although this ailment is not something I'm vocal about) so instead I'm happy to let others know on here that he is a great doctor, will make you feel very comfortable and help get things back to normal for you. My advice would be to see him at the first sign of anything such as these warts. I would have saved a lot of $$ & time had I gone in after the 1st wart showed." 

 

"Thank you for giving me all of the test and explanations....I looked on the internet for other centers. There are labs, but none had a doctor." T. Braz California

 

"Today I went for my final test for my Hiv and STD test. It was negative. It had been over

a year since the last risk encounter. It had been a worst year in my whole life. Fortunately,

I found Dr. Arani and he helped me through this horrible year. So as all the nurses in this clinic

had been a great support for me. He is not only my doctor, but my friend and my psychiatrist.

I would like to have all my thank to Dr. Arani and nurses. 100% recommend to everyone who need

an excellent Infectious Disease Specialist who is more than just doctor, but friend"

L.J Los Angeles, California

 

".....With 4 weeks of  penile discomfort and negative Gonorrhea/ Chlamydia  test finally

I was tested by Dr. Arani and he explained my Urethritis and he treated me and everything

got cleared in few days ...."

P.J Camarillo, California

 

.. "I got tested with  commercial medical lab and I was positive for herpes. I was so stressed and I did not know what to do till I came and got examined and tested with doctor and I was explained that everything was fine !. I got so relieved....." Confidential Patient  Torrance, California

 

"I came to Dr. Arani,...he was the only person diagnose my condition"

E. Briceno  Panorama City, California
