About Herpes 1 (HSV-1) Test | Oral Herpes Testing in Pullman
Understanding what the HSV-1 test measures helps put the result in context.
This test uses a HerpeSelect® assay to look for IgG antibodies specific to HSV-1 in a blood sample. IgG antibodies are part of the body's adaptive immune response and generally become detectable weeks after initial exposure to the virus.
HSV-1 is a widespread virus, and many people who carry it never develop noticeable symptoms. A positive result indicates that antibodies to HSV-1 are present, which suggests prior exposure to the virus. It does not, by itself, indicate when the exposure occurred or whether symptoms will appear.
A negative result usually means no HSV-1 antibodies were detected at the time of testing. Because antibody development takes time, a negative result may not rule out a recent infection. Results should be interpreted by a qualified healthcare professional alongside any symptoms and history.
