About Herpes Testing | HSV Type 1 & Type 2 Test in Riverside
This HerpeSelect® test looks for the specific antibodies that fight the herpes viruses (HSV-1 & 2) in your blood.
Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) is most often associated with oral infections, while herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) is most often associated with genital infections. However, either virus can infect either area.
Antibodies are proteins the immune system makes in response to an infection. Because it takes time for the body to produce these antibodies, a test performed too soon after exposure may not detect them.
The test uses an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method to identify and differentiate antibodies to HSV-1 and HSV-2. Results are reported separately for each virus type.
