Order Genital Herpes (HSV-2) Blood TestThe Genital Herpes (HSV-2) Blood Test detects antibodies produced by the immune system in response to the herpes simplex virus type 2. Because it measures the body's immune reaction rather than the virus itself, this blood test can identify an HSV-2 infection even when no symptoms are present.
About Genital Herpes (HSV-2) Blood Test in Spring Valley
Understanding what the Genital Herpes (HSV-2) Blood Test measures helps put results in context.
This test uses a method known as HerpeSelect® to look for IgG antibodies specific to HSV-2. IgG antibodies are proteins the immune system creates after exposure to the virus, and they typically become detectable within a few weeks to a few months after infection.
HSV-2 is the virus most commonly associated with genital herpes, though it can also cause oral lesions in some cases. A blood test cannot tell you where on the body an infection is located or when it was acquired; it only indicates whether antibodies to HSV-2 are present.
Because antibody levels take time to develop, a test performed too soon after a possible exposure may produce a negative result even if infection has occurred. Testing later can provide a more reliable answer. Results are reported as positive, negative, or, in some cases, equivocal, which means the finding is unclear and may warrant repeat testing.
