About Herpes 1 (HSV-1) Test | Oral Herpes Testing in Madison
HSV-1 is most often associated with oral herpes, though it can also cause genital infections.
Herpes simplex virus type 1 spreads primarily through direct contact with infected saliva or skin during oral contact. Many people carry the virus without ever developing noticeable symptoms, which is one reason blood testing is used to determine exposure.
The HerpeSelect® assay used here is a type-specific serology test. It measures IgG antibodies that target HSV-1 specifically, helping to distinguish this virus from HSV-2, the type more commonly linked to genital herpes.
Antibodies may take time to develop after infection, so a test performed too early can produce a negative result even when the virus is present. A positive result indicates past or current infection, while a negative result generally means no antibodies were detected at the time of collection.
