The Herpes 1 (HSV-1) Test is a blood test designed to detect antibodies produced by the immune system in response to the herpes simplex virus type 1. Because HSV-1 is most commonly associated with oral herpes, this test is often used when oral infection is suspected or when a person wants to know their status.

About Herpes 1 (HSV-1) Test | Oral Herpes Testing in Fort Pierce

Understanding what the HSV-1 test measures helps put results in context.

The test uses a method called HerpeSelect® to identify IgG antibodies specific to HSV-1. These antibodies are part of the body's immune response and can take time to develop after exposure to the virus.

HSV-1 is typically linked to oral herpes, which can appear as cold sores or fever blisters around the mouth. However, the virus can also cause genital herpes through oral-to-genital contact, so a positive result does not by itself indicate the site of infection.

This test does not distinguish between a recent infection and one that occurred in the past. It also cannot tell whether the virus is active or dormant. Results should be interpreted alongside any symptoms and clinical history by a healthcare provider.
