Order Herpes 1 (HSV-1) Test | Oral Herpes TestingThe Herpes 1 (HSV-1) Test detects antibodies produced by the immune system in response to the herpes simplex virus type 1. Because these antibodies persist after infection, their presence offers a serological record of exposure rather than a direct snapshot of active viral shedding.
About Herpes 1 (HSV-1) Test | Oral Herpes Testing in Normal
HSV-1 is a widespread virus, and most people who carry it are unaware of the infection.
The herpes simplex virus type 1 is best known for causing oral herpes, which often appears as cold sores or fever blisters around the mouth. However, the virus can also cause genital herpes through oral-to-genital contact, and it can be transmitted even when no sores or symptoms are visible.
This test uses the HerpeSelect® method to identify IgG antibodies specific to HSV-1. IgG antibodies typically become detectable weeks after initial exposure and remain in the bloodstream long term, which makes them useful for determining whether a person has ever been infected.
Because HSV-1 and HSV-2 are closely related, the test is designed to distinguish between antibodies to each type. Results are reported as positive, negative, or equivocal, and an equivocal result may warrant follow-up testing to clarify infection status.
