Know more about this test
The Herpes Simplex Virus 1 IgG test is a blood test done to determine the presence of immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies against herpes simplex virus (HSV) 1. These antibodies indicate a previous herpes infection, as IgG antibodies develop later in the course of the infection and persist for an extended period. This test helps in the diagnosis of past HSV 1 infection which can cause oral herpes (cold sores) and less commonly genital herpes. It is widely available at an affordable price with Tata 1mg labs in Howrah.
Your doctor may recommend the Herpes Simplex Virus 1 IgG test when you have symptoms such as painful, recurring blisters or ulcers, fever, body aches, sore throat, and swollen lymph nodes, etc, suggestive of herpes infection. No special preparation is required for this test. Eat and drink as per your daily routine.
