About Herpes Testing | HSV Type 1 & Type 2 Test in Windsor
Herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2 are common viral infections that can cause oral or genital sores, though many people who carry the virus never develop noticeable symptoms.
HSV-1 is typically associated with oral herpes, which can appear as cold sores around the mouth, while HSV-2 is more commonly linked to genital herpes. However, either type can infect either area through skin-to-skin contact.
The HerpeSelect® test works by detecting IgG antibodies that the body creates to fight the virus. Because these antibodies take time to develop after exposure, the test is most reliable when performed several weeks after potential contact.
A positive result indicates past exposure to HSV-1, HSV-2, or both, but it does not determine when the infection occurred or whether symptoms will develop. A negative result generally means no antibodies were detected, though recent exposure may not yet be reflected.
