About Herpes 1 (HSV-1) Test | Oral Herpes Testing in Apache Junction
Herpes simplex virus type 1 is a widespread infection, most often associated with oral sores, though it can also affect other areas of the body.
The immune system responds to HSV-1 by producing specific antibodies, and this test measures those antibodies in a blood sample. The assay used is the HerpeSelect® test, which targets the IgG class of antibodies directed against the virus.
Because antibody levels take time to develop after infection, the test is not intended to diagnose a brand-new exposure. A healthcare provider can advise on the appropriate timing for testing based on individual circumstances.
Results are reported as positive, negative, or indeterminate. A positive result indicates prior exposure to HSV-1, while a negative result suggests no detectable antibodies. Indeterminate results may require follow-up testing to clarify.
