What is the Epstein-Barr Virus?
The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a common human virus belonging to the herpesvirus family. It is best known for causing infectious mononucleosis, also known as glandular fever. Most people get infected with EBV at some point in their lives, and the virus remains latent in the body afterward.
Common Symptoms of EBV Infection
Symptoms of a primary EBV infection vary but often include fever, swollen lymph nodes, fatigue, sore throat, and an enlarged spleen. Symptoms can range in severity and duration but are usually most pronounced in teenagers and young adults.

The home test was straightforward with easy to follow instructions. The test result was detailed and clear in its presentation. Also had the opportunity to ask questions about the test result.

We looked at a lot of companies offering the same services but made the decision to go forward with get tested because the labs are based here in the UK. The process has been very straight forward.

There are other providers out there, I have tried 3. Gettested was the fastest and the customer service was the best. I even received my test on the day of purchase delivered by a motorbike courier.

I found them to be professional and not too long a wait for results. Helpful with any after questions. Will be using them again if need be. I highly recommend them.
