Herpes Blood Test


What does this test show?

The Herpes IgG antibody blood test will tell you if you have had the herpes virus. Antibodies are a marker of a past infection. The test result distinguishes between Herpes Simplex 1 and Herpes Simplex 2 antibodies. This test does NOT tell you if you have an active herpes episode. For this, you will require a swab of an active lesion.

When can I test?

You can test at any time, but the IgG antibodies for herpes will normally reach detectable levels around 12 - 16 weeks after infection and will normally remain detectable for life.

How does the test work?

Home Diagnostics will send a self-collection kit that is a licensed medical device appropriate for use by patients at home. You can use the kit to extract a small amount of blood from a finger. This is then sent back to our laboratory using a reply-paid envelope using a next day tracked service.

How long do results take?

Results are available 24 - 48 hours after your sample arrives at the laboratory.

Do you provide index numbers?

Yes. Index numbers are included with your test result.

The kit was really easy to use and not at all painful. Got my results very quickly as well. I would definitely recommend.

Miranda Smith

I used this service as they give you the index numbers with your results on the HSV blood test. Other websites I have used only say postive or negative. I feel this service is more comprehensive and understands what their customers want.

Lucy C

I was really nervous about using this service but I called their phone line and a really nice lady put me at ease and explained how it worked. It is totally confidential and I felt reassured by the fact my results were processed by a real UK doctor.

A.B.

This was a really easy service to use. The kit arrived the next day and I had my results the day after they received my sample. I like how you actually get your results online from a doctor too.
