The Herpes 1 (HSV-1) Test detects antibodies produced by the immune system in response to the herpes simplex type 1 virus. Because these antibodies persist after initial exposure, their presence can indicate a current or past infection even when no symptoms are present.

About Herpes 1 (HSV-1) Test | Oral Herpes Testing in Dunedin

This assay is used to identify prior or ongoing exposure to HSV-1 through a blood sample.

The test measures IgG-class antibodies specific to HSV-1. IgG antibodies typically appear within weeks of infection and remain detectable thereafter, making them a reliable marker of exposure over time.

HSV-1 is most commonly associated with oral herpes, which can present as cold sores or fever blisters around the mouth. However, the virus can also cause genital infections, and many individuals carry it without ever developing noticeable symptoms.

Because antibody testing does not distinguish between a recent and a longstanding infection, results are best interpreted alongside clinical history and any visible symptoms. A positive result indicates exposure; it does not pinpoint when the exposure occurred or whether the virus is currently active.
