Herpes testing checks for antibodies to herpes simplex virus (HSV), the virus that causes oral and genital sores. It is ordered when someone has symptoms or wants to know their status, especially after possible exposure.
What it measures
- HSV-1 antibodies — Usually linked to oral herpes but can also cause genital sores.
- HSV-2 antibodies — Most often linked to genital herpes.
- IgG antibodies — Shows a past infection; takes weeks to appear.
- IgM antibodies — May show a recent infection, but is not always reliable.
Who it is for
A clinician may order this test if you have sores or tingling, or if you want to check your status after possible exposure. It is also used for people with multiple partners or a partner who has herpes.
Preparation
No fasting or special preparation is needed. Timing matters: antibodies can take 2–12 weeks after exposure to show up, so testing too early may miss an infection.
Results and what they mean
Results are reported as positive or negative for HSV-1 and HSV-2 antibodies, sometimes with a number. A positive result means you have been exposed, not necessarily that you have symptoms. A clinician interprets results with your history; this is general information, not medical advice.
