About Herpes 1 (HSV-1) Test | Oral Herpes Testing in Reno
Understanding what the HSV-1 antibody test measures helps put the result in context.
The assay used here, HerpeSelect, is an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay that identifies IgG antibodies specific to HSV-1 in a blood sample. IgG antibodies typically appear within a few weeks of infection and remain detectable long term.
HSV-1 is most commonly associated with oral herpes, though it can also cause genital infection. Many people who carry the virus never develop noticeable symptoms, which is why laboratory testing can be more informative than symptom history alone.
A positive result indicates prior exposure to HSV-1, while a negative result suggests no detectable antibodies at the time of collection. Because antibody levels can take time to rise, a test performed too soon after possible exposure may not yet reflect infection.
