Shop - Herpes Simplex Virus 2 IgG

Description

The Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) 2 IgG test detects IgG antibodies specific to HSV type 2 in the blood. A positive result indicates past exposure to HSV-2, the virus primarily associated with genital herpes. IgG antibodies typically develop a few weeks after initial infection and remain in the body for life, signaling a previous or established infection rather than a recent one. This test helps confirm past exposure to HSV-2, even if there are no current symptoms, and is useful in assessing HSV status for diagnosis and counseling purposes.
