About test
What does HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUS (HSV)-IgG measure?
This test measures IgG antibodies to herpes simplex virus (HSV). IgG antibodies may develop after exposure and can remain detectable for a long time. It may be used to help assess past HSV exposure, support evaluation when HSV infection is being considered, or clarify immune antibody status in the appropriate clinical context. Results should be interpreted alongside medical history, symptoms, and other relevant tests.
