About test
What does HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUS I (HSV)-IGM measure?
This test measures IgM antibodies associated with Herpes Simplex Virus type 1 (HSV-1) in the blood. It may be used to support evaluation of a recent or current immune response to HSV-1 when considered alongside symptoms, medical history, and other laboratory findings. HSV antibody results can be complex to interpret, and the test does not by itself confirm the timing or location of an infection.
