About Genital Herpes (HSV-2) Blood Test in Lorain
This HerpeSelect® test looks for the specific antibodies that fight the herpes-2 virus (HSV-2) in your blood.
HSV-2 typically causes genital herpes, but it can also infect the mouth or other areas through direct skin-to-skin contact. Many people who carry the virus have no symptoms or mistake mild signs for something else.
The test measures IgG antibodies, which the body builds over days to weeks after infection. A positive result generally indicates past or present infection, while a negative result may mean no infection or that the body has not yet produced detectable antibodies.
Results are reported as positive, negative, or equivocal. An equivocal result means the antibody level falls in a range that is neither clearly positive nor clearly negative, and repeat testing may be advised.
