What kind of Herpes test do you use??

[LA fan]

What kind of herpes test does your company use? I've heard that there are different ones like IGG, IGM, and all that, and some are better than others, right? I read about IGG being good ones. I'm wondering which do you use? This is all over my head....I'm totally lost!!

Hi,

We use the IgG Herpes testing. The difference is really between the disease being active or not.
You can find further information about the different types of Herpes testing at: http://www.ashastd.org/herpes/herpes_learn_testing.cfm

Let me know if you have any further questions or if there's anything else I can help you with.

Very cool, because IgM tests are unreliable and very unspecific. IgG tests are much better and can accurately sort HSV-1 and HSV-2 infections.
