**Herpes Simplex Virus 1 (HSV-1) IgG Test**
The Herpes Simplex Virus 1 (HSV-1) IgG test checks for IgG antibodies in your blood, which are produced by your immune system in response to an HSV-1 infection. HSV-1 typically causes oral herpes, which can result in cold sores or fever blisters around the mouth.
- **Why is it important?** This test helps determine if you have been infected with HSV-1 in the past. It does not detect a current outbreak but shows if you have been exposed to the virus at some point.
- **What do the results mean?**
- **Positive:** IgG antibodies are present, indicating a past or existing HSV-1 infection. It means you've been exposed to the virus, but it doesn't specify when.
- **Negative:** No IgG antibodies were detected, suggesting you have not been infected with HSV-1, or it's too early for antibodies to develop if the exposure was recent.
Knowing your HSV-1 status can help you understand your risk and take precautions to manage and reduce the spread of the virus.
