Ordering Recommendation

Preferred testing for herpes simplex virus (HSV) when recent acquisition of herpes simplex virus is suspected. Because glycoprotein antibodies may require 3-6 months to form, follow-up testing is recommended to confirm a negative IgG glycoprotein result in the context of positive HSV types 1 or 2 antibody results. Refer to Herpes Simplex Type 1 and Type 2 Glycoprotein G-Specific Antibodies, IgG by CIA (0051152).
