About Herpes 1 (HSV-1) Test | Oral Herpes Testing in Apache Junction
This HerpeSelect® test looks for the specific antibodies that fight the herpes simplex 1 virus (HSV-1) in your blood.
HSV-1 is best known for causing oral herpes, which often appears as cold sores or fever blisters around the mouth. The virus spreads mainly through direct contact with saliva or an active lesion, and many people carry it without ever developing noticeable symptoms.
Antibody testing differs from a swab test that samples a sore directly. A blood draw captures the immune response rather than the virus itself, so it can indicate past exposure even when the virus is not actively shedding.
Results are typically reported as positive, negative, or equivocal. A positive result means antibodies to HSV-1 were detected; a negative result means they were not. Because antibodies take time to develop, a test performed too soon after a possible exposure may not yet reflect an infection.
