Hello,
Welcome to HCM,

The tests to detect herpes infection are to detect antigen or antibody against this virus. The ELISA tests are being done to detect this organisms.

The P24 antigen of the virus is the earliest test to detect the organisms. There are many hospitals in Bangalore which can identify and isolate this organisms.

I would recommend you to visit either St Johns Hospital or KIMS, Hospital Bangalore, for complete evaluation.
Thank you.
