HSV Profile Test

At healthcare nt sickcare, we offer the most comprehensive testing available for Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV). Our HSV Profile Test analyses your blood for antibodies related to both HSV-1 and HSV-2, the viruses that cause oral and genital herpes. This helps identify if you have been infected by either or both viruses in the past.

• The HSV Profile Test includes

  1. HSV 1 IgG - Tests for antibodies to HSV-1. A positive result indicates a previous or current HSV-1 infection.
  2. HSV 2 IgG - Tests for antibodies to HSV-2. A positive means previous or current HSV-2 infection.
  3. HSV 1 IgM - Elevated levels can indicate a recent infection with HSV-1.
  4. HSV 2 IgM - Elevated levels may indicate a current HSV-2 infection.

  Knowing your HSV status is important. Many people contract HSV in childhood and may not realize they have it. HSV-1 is commonly transmitted by kissing and HSV-2 through sexual contact. Both viruses can be spread even when no symptoms are present.

  While HSV stays in your body forever, it can be managed with medication if you have frequent outbreaks. Daily antiviral treatment can also reduce asymptomatic shedding, which lowers the risk of transmission to partners. Understanding your test results allows you to take steps to manage symptoms and prevent spread.

  Our HSV testing is conducted in certified laboratories using advanced ELISA and ECLIA techniques. Results are available within 24–48 hours of sample collection. We provide detailed test reports that can be shared with your doctor.
