HSV2 Test measures the markers listed in its panel and reports each value with a reference range. Read on for what the test checks and how to prepare.

Understanding HSV2 Test Results

Understanding the HSV2 Test report starts with matching each value to the range shown beside it. Results for the HSV2 Test are written in plain terms with the test name and collection date included. Keeping a copy of the HSV2 Test report makes it easier to compare results over time. A healthcare provider can explain what the HSV2 Test numbers mean in the context of your health history.

Limitations of the HSV2 Test

No single test, including the HSV2 Test, can answer every question about your health. The HSV2 Test should be understood alongside your history, symptoms, and any other tests you have had. For anything concerning in the HSV2 Test report, follow up promptly with a healthcare provider. The HSV2 Test is run by a licensed laboratory, and like any test it has limitations.

Interpreting High and Low HSV2 Test Results

A value above the range is called high and one below is called low, but either can have many explanations. High and low results from the HSV2 Test are best reviewed with a healthcare provider rather than interpreted alone. The HerpeSelect test measures specific antibodies that the body produces against herpes simplex virus 2 (HSV-2). A single high or low value from the HSV2 Test may reflect normal variation, so repeat testing is sometimes used.
