Order Herpes Testing | HSV Type 1 & Type 2 TestHerpes simplex virus testing examines the blood for antibodies produced in response to HSV-1 and HSV-2, the two closely related viruses that cause oral and genital herpes. Because antibodies take time to develop after exposure, the timing of a test matters as much as the test itself.
About Herpes Testing | HSV Type 1 & Type 2 Test in Glendora
This HerpeSelect® test detects antibodies against HSV-1 and HSV-2 in a blood sample.
The immune system builds antibodies to HSV-1 and HSV-2 after infection. This test identifies those antibodies and distinguishes between the two virus types, which is useful because the viruses differ in how and where they typically cause symptoms.
Blood antibody testing is not the same as directly detecting the virus. Swab tests collect material from a sore and look for viral DNA, while antibody tests look for the body's immune response. Each approach answers a different question, and a clinician selects between them based on symptoms and history.
Results are reported by type, so a person can see whether antibodies to HSV-1, HSV-2, or both are present. Antibody levels do not indicate when infection occurred, how severe it will be, or whether someone currently has sores. Interpretation belongs with a healthcare professional who can consider exposure timing and symptoms.
