Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 (HSV-1) Antibody Test

Introduction

The HSV-1 Antibody Test is a blood test that detects IgG and IgM antibodies against Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1.

HSV-1 is a common virus, often causing cold sores (blisters, itching, tingling around the lips). Many people are infected during childhood or adolescence. This test helps determine whether it is a past infection or a recent infection.

Why Take an HSV-1 Antibody Test?

  • Confirm infection history: IgG indicates past infection.
  • Detect recent infection: IgM usually indicates a recent or acute infection.
  • Clarify cause of symptoms: Useful for diagnosing mouth, throat, or genital blisters.
  • Pregnancy safety: Helps assess risks of mother-to-child transmission.

Method & Workflow

A venous blood sample is taken and tested for HSV-1 IgG and IgM:

  • IgM antibody: Indicates recent or acute infection.
  • IgG antibody: Suggests past infection or carrier state.

No fasting is required, and results are usually available within 1–3 working days.

Who Should Consider Testing?

  • Individuals with recurrent cold sores or oral blisters
  • Those with unexplained fever or oral mucosal symptoms
  • Patients with genital ulcers or blisters (to differentiate HSV-1 from HSV-2)
  • Pregnant women and those planning pregnancy

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

A: HSV-1 is more often associated with oral infections (cold sores), while HSV-2 is commonly linked to genital herpes, though both can overlap.

Q2: Does a positive test always mean symptoms?
A: No. Some people may carry the virus without noticeable symptoms.

Q3: Can HSV infection be cured?
A: There is no permanent cure, but antiviral treatment can effectively manage symptoms and reduce recurrences.
