About Herpes Testing | HSV Type 1 & Type 2 Test in Normal
Herpes simplex virus is a common infection that persists in the body after initial exposure.
HSV-1 is typically associated with oral herpes, though it can also cause genital infections. HSV-2 is more commonly linked to genital herpes. Both viruses can be transmitted through close contact even when no symptoms are present.
The HerpeSelect® test works by detecting IgG antibodies specific to HSV-1 and HSV-2. Antibodies usually become detectable weeks after infection, so the timing of the test relative to possible exposure matters for interpretation.
Results are reported separately for HSV-1 and HSV-2, which helps distinguish which virus type is present. A healthcare provider can explain what a positive or negative result means in the context of symptoms and exposure history.
