Order Herpes Testing | HSV Type 1 & Type 2 TestHerpes is a common viral infection caused by two related viruses: herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) and type 2 (HSV-2). This test uses a blood sample to detect antibodies your immune system produces in response to these viruses.
About Herpes Testing | HSV Type 1 & Type 2 Test in Albuquerque
The HerpeSelect® test is a type-specific antibody assay for HSV-1 and HSV-2.
It detects IgG antibodies, which the body develops after exposure to the virus. Because antibodies take time to appear, a test performed too soon after potential exposure may not yet show a positive result.
Type-specific testing distinguishes HSV-1 from HSV-2, which matters because the two viruses differ in how commonly they cause oral versus genital symptoms and in how they are managed.
Results are reported as positive or negative for each type. A positive result indicates prior exposure to that virus, but it does not by itself establish when the infection was acquired or whether symptoms will occur.
