PCR (polymerase chain reaction) COVID-19 tests use a highly accurate diagnostic technique that detects the genetic material of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. It involves amplifying and analyzing the viral RNA from a nasal or throat swab. Results are obtained within 24 hours, providing details about the infection's presence.

We deliver test results expeditiously so you can take action and get treated. The sooner you are tested for Mpox, the sooner you can get back to life as usual.
Mpox is a contagious virus that spreads through close personal contact, although it can be transmitted by sharing fabrics, touching hard surfaces, and respiratory secretions. Once exposed to Mpox, the patient may develop a rash resembling blisters and flu-like symptoms. Most symptoms appear within one to two weeks of exposure.
Mpox is a member of the poxvirus family, the same kind that causes smallpox. While genetically similar to Mpox, they are two separate conditions.
To date, more than 7,500 Mpox cases have been reported in the United States. Source Once considered a rare infection, it is now a public health emergency.
A telltale sign of Mpox is a rash. In its early stages, the rash may look similar to pimples or pustules. Soon, these small bumps can turn into large, fluid-filled blisters that eventually crust over. The Mpox rash typically appears on areas such as the face, inside the mouth, or on the hands, feet, genitals, or anus. Signs of Mpox include:
The testing procedure involves taking a swab of the suspected lesions. Your Los Angeles Mpox test provider will vigorously rub the swab back and forth over the rash to collect cells for analysis. The sample is contained and sent to our CLIA-certified lab partners, who carefully analyze the swab to detect the presence of Mpox. Your test results will be available within a few days. While you wait for your test results, take precautions as recommended by the CDC.
Our lab partners detect Mpox using a PCR test that separates the DNA from any proteins in the sample. Mpox viral DNA has characteristic traits that make it distinct from others. If DNA from Mpox is detected, the genome is copied thousands, or even millions, of times. Each new copy produces a fluorescent light signal. If enough light is generated, the PCR test results come back positive. Source
The Center for Disease Control recommends Mpox testing for individuals who have a rash. For some patients, the rash appears first before other symptoms develop. Others have warning signs of Mpox, such as fatigue and muscle aches, before the rash makes an appearance. There is no age limit for the Mpox test, as the virus can strike at any age. Once the rash clears, a person is no longer considered contagious. Get to know what the Mpox rash looks like.

Mpox spreads through close contact, including direct skin-to-skin contact, sex, hugging, and kissing. It can also be transmitted from respiratory droplets and touching surfaces, towels, clothing, or bedding that have been handled by someone infected with Mpox.
The incubation period refers to the onset of the infection relative to the onset of symptoms. The Mpox incubation period ranges from five to 21 days, although symptoms typically show up in one to two weeks in most instances. Source
Most cases of Mpox resolve in two to four weeks.
Mpox does not have a cure. In some cases, time is the best remedy. Since Mpox and smallpox share genetic similarities, antiviral drugs that treat smallpox (such as TPOXX) may treat Mpox infections in people with weakened immune systems.
In rare cases, Mpox can kill. The estimated fatality ratio is three to five percent. Source
Mpox symptoms are remarkably similar to those of smallpox and chickenpox, making it tricky to diagnose the condition with a visual examination. Lab testing is the only reliable way to differentiate what condition you have.
Mpox testing from home is not yet available. Most home tests look for proteins, whereas Mpox is diagnosed by the presence of viral DNA.
Insurance is not a requirement for testing.
Your test results should become available within a few days. You can access your test results by logging into our secure online portal.
