About Herpes Testing | HSV Type 1 & Type 2 Test in Norco
Herpes simplex virus exists in two closely related forms, HSV-1 and HSV-2, and both can cause oral or genital infections.
The HerpeSelect® test is a type-specific serology assay. It looks for IgG antibodies that the body develops against HSV-1 and HSV-2, and it distinguishes between the two types rather than reporting a single combined result.
Antibodies do not appear immediately after exposure. The immune system typically takes time to produce detectable IgG levels, so a test performed too soon after a possible exposure may return a negative result even if infection has occurred.
Because the test detects antibodies rather than the virus itself, a positive result indicates prior exposure to HSV-1 or HSV-2. It does not reveal when the infection was acquired, which body site is affected, or whether symptoms will ever appear.
