HSV 1 and 2 IgG, Type-Specific Antibodies with Reflex
A blood test that detects type-specific IgG antibodies to both herpes simplex virus type 1 and type 2, with a reflex step for added confidence on borderline HSV-2 results. Type-specific testing distinguishes the two viruses so each result stands on its own.

What It Measures
Past exposure to both types. Detects IgG antibodies to HSV-1 and HSV-2, indicating whether your body has encountered either virus.
Type-specific results. Distinguishes HSV-1 from HSV-2, so you know exactly which virus each result reflects.
Reflex for confidence. Borderline HSV-2 results are reflexed for confirmation, reducing uncertain low positives.

Understanding Your Results
Results post to your secure online account, usually in 1–2 business days, in plain English: a clear positive or negative for each type. A positive means past exposure to that virus, not when you were infected or how often you'll have outbreaks. If your HSV-2 result is borderline, the reflex step helps confirm it. Herpes is common and manageable. Nothing appears on your insurance record.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will this show up on my insurance?
No. You pay directly, nothing is billed to insurance, and nothing appears on your insurance record. Your results go only to your secure account, 100% confidential.
What's the difference between HSV-1 and HSV-2?
HSV-1 usually causes oral cold sores but can cause genital herpes; HSV-2 usually causes genital herpes. This type-specific test tells the two apart so each result is clear.
How soon after exposure can I test?
Antibodies usually appear about 3–6 weeks after infection, and it can take up to 12–16 weeks to fully seroconvert. Testing after about 12 weeks gives the most reliable answer.
Are herpes blood tests ever wrong?
Standard HSV-2 antibody tests can over-call low positives, which is why this test includes a reflex confirmation step. If your priority is the most rigorous HSV-2 accuracy, our HSV-2 IgG with reflex to inhibition is built specifically for that.
