Overview
HSV I IgM Antibodies Test is a blood test that detects the presence of IgM antibodies specific to Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 (HSV-1), which causes cold sores. It is performed by drawing a small amount of blood from a vein in the arm and sending it to a laboratory for analysis. The test is used to diagnose acute or recent HSV-1 infection and is typically performed when a person has symptoms such as blisters or sores on the lips or in the mouth.

Individuals who have recently developed symptoms of herpes, such as painful blisters or sores on the mouth or genital area, as IgM antibodies can be detected within 2-3 weeks of infection.
Pregnant women who have a history of genital herpes or have a partner with genital herpes, as the virus can be transmitted to the baby during delivery, leading to serious health complications.
Those who are at high risk of contracting herpes, such as individuals with multiple sexual partners, those who engage in unprotected sex, or those who have a weakened immune system due to conditions such as HIVAIDS.
What to do if the test is abnormal?

If a person receives abnormal results on the HSV I IgM Antibodies Test, it is important to follow up with their healthcare provider. Further testing may be necessary to confirm or rule out a herpes simplex virus infection.
