Difference Between IgG and IgM Tests for HSV: Which is More Accurate?

What’s is the difference between IgG and IgM test for HSV.

1 Answer

Answered on 10th Apr '24

HSV-specific IgG test is for finding the history or previous infection, while IgM test is for recent or current infection. With IgG antibodies, we can tell if a person has had the HSV before, which provides long-term immunity. While IgM antibodies show that an infection happened recently, IgG antibodies suggest that it occurred a long time ago. HSV-related problems should be diagnosed and treated by consulting a dermatologist or an infectious disease specialist as these specialists are best suited in these cases.
