Test Overview & Methodology
The Herpes Simplex Virus Type 2 (HSV-2) IgG & IgM serum antibody panel detects both past and recent infections using highly sensitive CLIA (Chemiluminescent Immunoassay) technology, delivering same-day reports. This test is essential for confirmatory diagnosis, prenatal screening, and assessing immune status against genital herpes.
| Feature | Our CLIA Panel | Rapid Test / Alternative |
|---|---|---|
| Methodology | CLIA (Automated Chemiluminescent Immunoassay) | Lateral Flow Immunoassay |
| Analytical Sensitivity | >99.9% for IgG/IgM differentiation | ~85–90% may miss early seroconversion |
| Turnaround Time | Same day (sample by 9 AM on scheduled days) | 15–20 minutes |
| Regulatory Status | DHA/MOHAP Approved, ISO 9001:2015 | Limited clinical validation |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
Dr. Ajay Singh (DHA License: 36234132) states: “As your physician, I interpret HSV‑2 serology results in conjunction with your clinical history, lesion morphology, and risk factors. A positive IgG alone indicates prior exposure—not an active outbreak—while IgM may signal recent infection but must be confirmed with PCR if acute lesions are present. Please consult a qualified healthcare professional before taking any clinical decision based solely on this panel.”
Advisory – Medication Precautions
⚠ Do not discontinue prescribed antiviral or immunosuppressive medication without consulting your doctor.
Safety Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Exclusion: Active genital ulcers or lesions require priority PCR testing; this serology panel is not suitable for diagnosing acute outbreaks.
- Pregnancy Alert: A positive IgM in pregnancy demands immediate obstetric referral for neonatal risk assessment.
- ER Red Flags: Sudden vision loss, severe headache with fever, neck stiffness, confusion, or meningeal signs – seek emergency care immediately.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What does a positive HSV‑2 IgG result mean?
A positive HSV‑2 IgG indicates past exposure to the virus and lifelong infection, but not necessarily an active outbreak or current transmissibility.
2. Why is the IgM test ordered alongside IgG?
The IgM antibody appears early in primary infection and can help differentiate recent from past exposure when interpreted carefully.
3. Can I take this test without symptoms?
Yes, asymptomatic screening is valuable for pregnancy planning or pre-transplant evaluation, provided you follow current DHA guidelines.
