About Herpes 1 (HSV-1) Test | Oral Herpes Testing in Clovis
HSV-1 is a common virus best known for causing oral herpes, though it can also cause genital infections.
The herpes simplex virus has two main types: HSV-1 and HSV-2. HSV-1 is most often associated with infections around the mouth and lips, while HSV-2 is more commonly linked to genital herpes. However, both types can infect either area through oral, genital, or skin-to-skin contact.
This test uses the HerpeSelect® method to look for IgG antibodies specific to HSV-1 in a blood sample. IgG antibodies typically appear within a few weeks after infection and remain detectable long term, which makes this test useful for identifying past exposure rather than confirming an active outbreak.
Many people with HSV-1 have mild or no symptoms and may not know they carry the virus. A positive result indicates exposure to HSV-1, but it does not reveal when the infection occurred or whether symptoms will develop. Results should be interpreted alongside a person's history and any clinical findings.
