labcorp is using the captia herpes igg blood test. You can read more on both the herpeselect as well as the captia test at www.herpesdiagnosis.com under the how can I get tested for herpes part ( they have great charts there that compare them ).
You really should just wait 4 months to get tested for herpes if it's a blood test other than the herpeselect ( 3 month wait for that ).

thanks for the information i went on the website and it was listed as as one of four recommended herpes tests....however, it does not give stats about acurracy rates it just says it is a new elisa type igg test, is that a good thing? in your expeert opinion would the capita igg test be acceptable form of testing or is the herpesselect test much better? or is there really not much difference other than the waiting period.
thank you
the captia is a fine test for general screening.
