Order Genital Herpes (HSV-2) Blood TestThe HSV-2 blood test detects antibodies produced in response to herpes simplex virus type 2, the virus most often responsible for genital herpes.

About Genital Herpes (HSV-2) Blood Test in Eagle Pass
Herpes simplex virus type 2 is a common viral infection that establishes itself in the body for life.
The HSV-2 blood test, often performed with the HerpeSelect® method, looks for IgG antibodies that the immune system creates to fight the virus. These antibodies typically become detectable weeks after initial exposure.
HSV-2 is the primary cause of genital herpes, though it can also infect the mouth or other areas through skin-to-skin contact. Many people who carry the virus never develop noticeable symptoms, which makes blood testing a useful tool for identifying infection.
Because antibodies persist over time, a blood test can reveal past exposure even if the virus is not active. Results are interpreted alongside a person's history and any symptoms, and follow-up testing may be recommended in some cases.
