Quick answer
This type-specific herpes blood test uses the HerpeSelect method to look for IgG antibodies against herpes simplex virus type 1 and type 2. Distinguishing the two types matters because they tend to cause different patterns of infection, though both can affect oral and genital areas. The test uses a blood sample and can detect exposure even when no symptoms have appeared.
What this test measures
Herpes simplex virus exists as two closely related types. HSV-1 is commonly linked to oral cold sores, while HSV-2 is commonly linked to genital herpes, but either type can infect either site. Type-specific antibody tests distinguish the two, which is more informative than older tests that reported herpes without specifying the type.
The HerpeSelect assay detects IgG antibodies that the immune system produces after infection. Antibodies take time to develop, so testing too soon after exposure can give a negative result. The test requires a blood sample and does not need a lesion swab, which is helpful when someone has no active sores.
A positive result indicates prior exposure to that virus type; it does not show when infection occurred or how often symptoms will appear. Many people with HSV carry it without noticeable outbreaks. A qualified healthcare provider interprets results with the person's history and can discuss transmission and management.
