A blood test that identifies whether you carry the herpes simplex virus — even with no symptoms — using type-specific IgG antibodies. Private, accurate, and without stigma.
Herpes simplex virus is extremely common and often asymptomatic. A type-specific IgG blood test reveals whether your immune system has encountered HSV — regardless of visible symptoms.
Classically causes cold sores around the mouth but increasingly causes genital herpes through oral-genital contact. IgG antibody confirms past infection and latent carriage. Around 60–70% of Nigerian adults carry HSV-1.
The primary cause of recurrent genital herpes. Transmitted by skin-to-skin contact; condoms reduce but do not eliminate risk. Most people are unaware they carry HSV-2 because outbreaks are mild or mistaken for other skin conditions.
No fasting, no dietary restriction, no special timing required. The herpes IgG blood test can be done at any time of day. Walk in or book on WhatsApp — a small venous blood sample is all that is needed.
If testing after a known or suspected exposure, wait at least 12 weeks for a reliable result. If you tested earlier and got a negative, repeat at 12–16 weeks to confirm. Tell us when the exposure occurred so we can advise you on timing.
Your result is for your eyes only. We do not share herpes results with employers, insurers, or family members without your written consent. You may also collect results digitally — no paperwork that could be seen by others.
Many older tests report only combined HSV antibodies, leaving you unsure which type you carry. We run type-specific HSV-1 and HSV-2 IgG separately, with index values.
A positive herpes result changes nothing about who you are — but it does change how you manage your health. Our staff explain what the result means practically, not just clinically.
Your booking, sample, and result are handled in a private consultation environment. We never discuss results at the reception counter.
