I believe you mean hsv1 igg.  It's a type of blood test that is done that looks at the igg antibody response to being infected with herpes.

www.herpesdiagnosis.com is a terrific website that goes into all of it in more detail. I think you'll get a lot of the answers you are looking for from that site.  

Also I confess I know that most folks in malaysis learn english but if it's not the language you are most comfortable with, http://www.ihmf.org/general/patient_info.asp  offers general herpes information in several different languages too.
