Shop - Herpes Simplex Virus 1 IgG

Description

The Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) 1 IgG test detects IgG antibodies specific to HSV type 1 in the blood. A positive result indicates past exposure to HSV-1, the virus commonly associated with oral herpes, which can cause cold sores around the mouth. IgG antibodies typically develop several weeks after initial infection and remain in the body for life, indicating an established infection rather than a new one. This test helps confirm previous exposure to HSV-1 and is useful for assessing HSV status, especially in cases where symptoms are absent or uncertain.
