What is Herpes Blood Test - IgG Non-Typed?
The non-typed Herpes blood test - IgG detects the presence of IgG antibodies against the herpes simplex virus in the blood. This test does not distinguish between herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) and type 2 (HSV-2), but only confirms whether a herpes infection has occurred.
Why should you have the Herpes Blood Test - IgG Non-Typed performed?
This test is suitable for individuals who want to confirm whether they have generally been exposed to the herpes virus, without specifically distinguishing between HSV-1 or HSV-2. It can be useful for general health check-ups or for those seeking advice and peace of mind regarding previous herpes exposure.
What does it indicate?
The test indicates the general presence of IgG antibodies against the herpes virus in the blood, suggesting a past or current infection. This indicates that the individual has come into contact with the herpes virus at some point.
What does a high level of IgG antibodies mean?
A high level of IgG antibodies suggests a past or current infection with the herpes virus. This means that the individual has been exposed to the virus in the past, and the virus may be latent or inactive in the body.
What does a low level of IgG antibodies mean?
A low level of IgG antibodies may indicate a lack of exposure to the herpes virus or that the infection occurred very recently and the body has not yet produced detectable levels of antibodies.
