Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 (HSV-1) IgG Test
This test detects long-term IgG antibodies for Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1, the primary cause of oral cold sores. It determines past exposure and helps assess your immune status and infection history accurately.
This serological test measures the titer (quantity) of immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies directed against herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1). These antibodies appear weeks after the initial infection and persist for life, indicating past exposure to the virus and the presence of long-lasting humoral immunity. The test cannot distinguish between a recent and a past infection, nor does it accurately determine the site of infection (oral or genital) because HSV-1 can infect both areas. It is an indicator of exposure, not necessarily of active disease.
