What's Tested
  • Herpes (HSV 1 & 2)

    This test measures antibodies to HSV-1 and HSV-2 in your blood. HSV-1 typically causes oral herpes (cold sores) that are painful blisters around the mouth but can also cause genital herpes. HSV-2 typically causes genital herpes which can lead to painful blisters or sores on the genitals or other affected parts of the body. Detecting these antibodies indicates past exposure to the virus.

FAQ

  • While testing for herpes virus in the absence of symptoms or known exposure is not currently recommended due to limitations with available tests, testing can be helpful if you have a sex partner with genital herpes, history of genital lesions, or known exposure to HSV.  

     

    If you are experiencing symptoms such as sores or blisters in the oral or genital area, it is recommended to contact a healthcare provider for testing for a potential active infection. This test does not detect the virus itself.
