The Herpes Virus 6 DNA Test detects HHV-6 DNA in blood or tissue to evaluate active infection or viral reactivation. Human herpesvirus 6 is associated with roseola in children and has been linked to encephalitis, seizures, myocarditis, chronic fatigue, and transplant complications. This molecular test helps assess viral load, monitor disease progression, and guide evaluation of neurological and immunological conditions.
The Herpes Simplex Virus 1 IgG Type-Specific Antibody HerpeSelect® Test detects IgG antibodies to HSV-1, the virus commonly associated with oral herpes. A positive result indicates past exposure, as IgG develops weeks after infection and remains for life. Doctors use this test to confirm HSV-1 infection, evaluate unexplained sores, or guide sexual health management. Results provide essential insight into infection history, immune response, and long-term HSV-1 status.
The Herpes 1 IgG Antibody Test detects IgG antibodies to HSV-1, the virus that commonly causes oral herpes (cold sores). IgG develops weeks after exposure and remains for life, making this test useful for confirming past infection and exposure history. Doctors order it for patients with oral sores, blisters, or concerns about herpes transmission. Results help confirm HSV-1 infection, guide treatment, and support counseling and prevention strategies.
The Herpes 2 IgG Antibody Test detects IgG antibodies to HSV-2, the virus that most often causes genital herpes. IgG develops weeks after infection and remains for life, making this test valuable for confirming past exposure or infection history. Doctors order it for patients with genital sores, blisters, or concerns about herpes transmission. Results help confirm HSV-2 infection, guide treatment, and support counseling, prevention, and long-term care.
The Herpes Simplex Virus 2 (HSV-2) IgG HerpeSelect® Test with Reflex to HSV-2 Inhibition detects IgG antibodies specific to HSV-2, the virus causing genital herpes. The reflex inhibition assay confirms positive results, improving accuracy and reducing false positives. Doctors order this test to diagnose genital herpes, even in asymptomatic patients. Results help confirm infection status, guide counseling, and support treatment or management of HSV-2 and related complications.
The Herpes 1 and 2 Test uses type-specific HSV-1/HSV-2 IgG to assess past infection and differentiate exposure to each virus. It is useful for evaluating recurrent lesions, screening asymptomatic partners, and documenting baseline status for clinical management. Because IgG can take 2–12 weeks to develop, early negatives may need repeat testing; HSV-2 reactive results reflex to an inhibition assay to verify specificity and reduce cross-reactivity.
The Herpes Virus 6 IgG IgM Antibodies Test detects immune response to HHV-6, a virus linked to roseola and other illnesses. IgM antibodies suggest recent or acute infection, while IgG indicates past exposure or reactivation. This test supports evaluation of fever, rash, or neurologic symptoms and may help identify complications in immunocompromised patients, providing valuable insight into HHV-6 infection status and immune activity.
The Herpes Simplex Virus 1 and 2 IgG Type-Specific Antibody HerpeSelect® Test detects IgG antibodies to HSV-1 and HSV-2, distinguishing between the two types. A positive result indicates past exposure, as IgG develops weeks after infection and remains long-term. Doctors use this test to confirm herpes diagnosis, guide treatment, or support sexual health decisions. Results provide vital insight into HSV status, infection history, and long-term immune response.
The Varicella Titer Test is a blood test that measures antibodies to the varicella-zoster virus (VZV), which causes chickenpox and shingles. A positive result indicates past infection, while a negative suggests no exposure. This test is not considered reliable for confirming immunity from vaccination. Doctors use it to evaluate history of natural infection, meet school or work requirements, and provide documentation of varicella exposure status.
The Varicella IgM Antibody Test measures IgM antibodies produced in response to varicella-zoster virus, helping identify current or recent chickenpox infection. It aids in differentiating acute illness from prior exposure or immunity. This test supports evaluation of symptoms such as rash, fever, or fatigue, and provides valuable information about immune activity and viral health risks.
