Order Genital Herpes (HSV-2) Blood TestThe HSV-2 (Genital Herpes) Blood Test uses the HerpeSelect® method to detect antibodies produced in response to the herpes simplex type 2 virus. Because antibodies take time to develop after exposure, this blood test is intended to identify an immune response rather than the virus itself.
About Genital Herpes (HSV-2) Blood Test in Logan
Genital herpes is a common viral infection, and laboratory testing can clarify whether HSV-2 antibodies are present.
The herpes simplex virus has two main types. HSV-1 is most often associated with oral cold sores, while HSV-2 is most often associated with genital herpes. Either type can appear in either area, so type-specific testing helps distinguish which virus is present.
The HerpeSelect® test detects IgG antibodies that the immune system makes specifically against HSV-2. These antibodies do not appear immediately after exposure; the body needs time to produce them, so a test performed too early may not yet show a positive result.
A blood test differs from a swab test. A swab collects material directly from a sore or lesion, while a blood test looks for antibodies circulating in the blood. This means the blood test can indicate past or present infection even when no symptoms are visible.
