Which IgG Specific test for HSV 1 and 2
Looking at requestatest.com offers for remote HSV exposure specific tests for type 1 and 2. It has been 16 wks since an incident I am concerned about. The difference in costs is $50 with the IGg ABS being $129 and the HerpeSelect® Immunoblot being $179. I have no visible lesions or outbreak so far but some of the other sx associated with herpes which makes me want to test. Wanted to purchase the best one I can without doing the Westernblot for now.
The HepeSelect Immunoblot just tells you Positive or Negative while the ABS version of the test gives numeric values. I hear the HerpeSelect is a little more sensitive.
Which one do does anyone suggest? Thanks

So I would want to pick the $129 which is the IgG ABS Select 1 &2 and not the immunoblot as mentioned so I can get actual numbers - do I understand you correctly?
