HSV-2 IgG with Reflex to Inhibition
A type-specific IgG blood test for herpes simplex virus type 2. Low-positive results, the range where standard HSV-2 antibody tests most often give false positives, are automatically reflexed to a confirmatory inhibition assay, dramatically reducing false positives compared with a plain HSV-2 IgG.

What It Measures
Past HSV-2 exposure. Detects type-specific IgG antibodies to herpes simplex virus type 2, the virus behind most genital herpes.
Built-in accuracy. Borderline positives are reflexed to a confirmatory inhibition assay, so you avoid the false positives that plague standard HSV-2 IgG tests.
Type-specific clarity. Separates HSV-2 from HSV-1, so your result reflects the right virus.

Understanding Your Results
Results post to your secure online account, usually in 1–2 business days, in plain English. If your antibody level lands in the borderline range, you'll see the confirmatory inhibition result too, so you're not left second-guessing a shaky low positive. A positive indicates past exposure to HSV-2, not when you were infected or how often you'll have outbreaks. Herpes is common and manageable. Nothing appears on your insurance record.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is this HSV-2 test more accurate than a standard one?
Ordinary HSV-2 IgG tests are known to over-call positives in the low-positive range. This test automatically reflexes those borderline results to a confirmatory inhibition assay, so a positive is genuinely a positive, far fewer false alarms.
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.
How soon after exposure can I test?
HSV-2 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.
I got a 'low positive' on a previous herpes test. Should I use this?
Yes. This is exactly the situation it's built for. The confirmatory inhibition step is designed to sort out uncertain low-positive HSV-2 results that standard tests get wrong.
