Quick answer
The Genital Herpes test looks for IgG antibodies against herpes simplex virus type 2 in a blood sample. HSV-2 most often causes genital herpes, though many people who carry it have no noticeable outbreaks. Blood testing can reveal exposure that a visual exam would miss because it detects the immune response rather than the sore itself.
What this test measures
HSV-2 is one of two herpes simplex viruses. It spreads mainly through sexual contact and commonly causes genital infection, though it can also affect other areas. After infection, the virus remains in the body and the immune system keeps producing antibodies, which is what the test measures.
The HerpeSelect assay is type-specific, so it distinguishes HSV-2 from HSV-1. A blood sample is drawn from a vein, and no active lesion is required. Antibodies take time to develop after exposure, so testing too early can produce a negative result even when infection is present.
A positive result indicates prior exposure to HSV-2, not when the infection occurred or how often symptoms will appear. Many carriers have mild or unrecognized symptoms. A healthcare provider interprets the result with the person's history and can discuss monitoring and transmission.
