Order Herpes 1 (HSV-1) Test | Oral Herpes TestingThe 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.

About Herpes 1 (HSV-1) Test | Oral Herpes Testing in Farmington
This test looks for antibodies, not the virus itself.
The HerpeSelect® assay detects IgG antibodies specific to HSV-1 in a blood sample. IgG antibodies generally take time to develop after initial exposure, so a test performed too early may not yet reflect an infection.
HSV-1 is most often associated with oral herpes, though it can also cause genital symptoms. A positive result indicates prior exposure to HSV-1; it does not identify when the infection was acquired or which part of the body is affected.
Results are reported as positive, negative, or equivocal. An equivocal result means the antibody level falls in an indeterminate range, and follow-up testing may be recommended to clarify the finding.
