About Genital Herpes (HSV-2) Blood Test in Slidell
Genital herpes is a common viral infection, and laboratory testing helps clarify whether HSV-2 exposure has occurred.
The test uses a blood sample to look for IgG antibodies specific to HSV-2. These antibodies typically become detectable weeks after initial exposure and remain present over time.
HSV-2 is the virus most often associated with genital herpes, though it can also cause oral lesions in some cases. A blood test differs from a swab test, which samples an active sore directly.
Because antibody levels take time to develop, testing too soon after a possible exposure may produce a negative result even if infection occurred. Understanding the window period helps interpret results accurately.
