The Genital Herpes Test uses one sample to measure a defined set of markers. Here is what the Genital Herpes Test covers and how to understand the report from a licensed laboratory.

How the Genital Herpes Test Is Performed: Specimen and Draw

A trained professional collects blood sample into a labeled container, and the collection usually takes only a few minutes. Follow the lab's instructions. The sample is then sent to a licensed laboratory, where the Genital Herpes Test is analyzed. No special equipment is needed for the Genital Herpes Test beyond what a routine sample collection requires.

How Often to Repeat the Genital Herpes Test

Comparing one Genital Herpes Test report with the next is easier when the same laboratory method is used. There is no single schedule for the Genital Herpes Test; timing is based on your individual situation. A provider can advise whether the Genital Herpes Test should be repeated and how far apart the tests should be. Keeping prior Genital Herpes Test reports helps show trends rather than a single point in time.

High and Low Genital Herpes Test Results

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 Genital Herpes Test may reflect normal variation, so repeat testing is sometimes used. The meaning of a high or low Genital Herpes Test result depends on your history and on the other markers in the panel. Reference ranges for the Genital Herpes Test are printed on the report, and results should be read against that range.
