Order Genital Herpes (HSV-2) Blood TestThe Genital Herpes (HSV-2) Blood Test detects antibodies produced by the immune system in response to herpes simplex virus type 2. Because antibodies take time to develop after exposure, the test reflects the body's immune response rather than the virus itself. It is typically used when someone wants clarity about HSV-2 status without active symptoms to swab.
About Genital Herpes (HSV-2) Blood Test in Madera
This test uses the HerpeSelect® method to identify IgG antibodies specific to HSV-2.
HSV-2 is one of two herpes simplex viruses; it is most often associated with genital herpes, though it can also cause oral infections. Many people with HSV-2 have no noticeable symptoms, which is why blood testing can be useful for detecting past exposure.
The test measures IgG antibodies, a class of immune proteins that appear after infection and remain detectable over time. IgM antibodies are not used here because they are less specific and can cross-react with HSV-1.
Results are reported as positive, negative, or equivocal. A positive result suggests past exposure to HSV-2, while a negative result makes infection less likely but does not rule out very recent exposure before antibodies have formed.
