HSV-1 IgM Test: Get Clarity About Recent Herpes Exposure
When you’re concerned about possible herpes exposure or experiencing unexplained symptoms, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. Our HSV-1 IgM Serum Test provides the accurate answers you need to make informed health decisions with confidence and peace of mind.
Understanding Your HSV-1 IgM Test
The HSV-1 IgM test specifically detects IgM antibodies, which your body produces during the early stages of a herpes simplex virus type 1 infection. Unlike IgG antibodies that indicate past exposure, IgM antibodies help identify recent infections – giving you timely information when it matters most.
Using advanced Enzyme Immunoassay technology, our test delivers exceptional accuracy and reliability. The simple blood draw requires no special preparation, making the testing process straightforward and stress-free.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if you’re experiencing:
- Unexplained oral sores or blisters
- Recent exposure to someone with herpes symptoms
- Flu-like symptoms with skin manifestations
- Concerns about recent sexual contact
- Planning pregnancy and want baseline health information
Many South Africans seek this testing for peace of mind after potential exposure or when symptoms first appear.

- Timely Treatment: Early detection allows for prompt management strategies
