When is the HSV Type 2 IGM Test Prescribed?

In several scenarios of herpes simplex virus infections, the symptoms are either missing or very mild. Usually, the first one is considered the most severe. Repetitions are common, but they are usually less severe in the period and less serious than the initial episode. Outbreaks associated with HSV-2 tests are usually in the genital area, while HSV-1 usually causes outbreaks near the lips. However, HSV-1 may also lead to infection in the genital area. A positive HSV-2 IGM result means the infection may be recent, but it needs further testing to confirm.

Common symptoms include:

Painful blisters that may appear alone or in groups

Burning and discomfort at the site of infection

Fever

Headache

Common body pain and discomfort

Time Required for SV Type 2 IGM Test Report + Next Steps

HSV-2 IGM antibodies indicate that the immune system has recently responded to a herpes simplex virus type 2 infection. The HSV-2 IGM test can be booked online at an affordable price, with options for home sample collection. Blood samples for the total and direct HSV IGM test are collected on Wednesdays and Sundays. HSV-2 test results are available by the following Monday or Thursday after 7 PM and can either be picked up from the nearest Max Lab Centre or downloaded directly from the Max Lab website. Results are categorised as:

Positive: IGM antibodies detected (suggests recent infection)

Negative: No IGM antibodies detected

Equivocal: Inconclusive, requiring retesting

If the test result indicates HSV-2 IGM positive, it usually signifies an early or persistent herpes infection. After receiving the HSV-2 IGM report, consult a healthcare provider for accurate interpretation. A doctor will assess symptoms, medical history, and test outcomes to diagnose the infection and recommend antiviral treatments or further testing if needed.
