Quick answer
The Herpes 1 test looks for IgG antibodies against herpes simplex virus type 1 in a blood sample. HSV-1 most often causes oral cold sores but can also cause genital infection. Because many people carry the virus without symptoms, a blood test can reveal exposure that a visual exam would miss.
What this test measures
HSV-1 is one of two herpes simplex viruses. It spreads mainly through oral contact and commonly produces cold sores around the mouth, though it can infect the genital area as well. Once a person is infected, the virus stays in the body and antibodies remain detectable, which is what the test measures.
The assay detects type-specific IgG antibodies against HSV-1, distinguishing it from HSV-2. A blood sample is collected from a vein. Antibodies take several weeks to develop after exposure, so timing affects the result. The test does not require an active sore and is useful when someone wants to know their exposure status.
A positive result means the person has been exposed to HSV-1. It does not indicate when infection occurred or how frequently symptoms will appear. Many carriers never have noticeable outbreaks. A healthcare provider interprets the result with the person's history and can answer questions about transmission.
