Comprehensive blood test to detect herpes simplex antibodies and identify the type of infection.
This blood test checks for the presence of antibodies to herpes simplex viruses 1 and 2. It helps determine if you have been infected with either type of herpes and which type. Early detection is crucial for managing symptoms and preventing transmission. The test measures the levels of specific antibodies in your blood. This test is important for individuals experiencing symptoms or those concerned about potential exposure to herpes simplex viruses.
