Herpes Tests Explained: What You Need to Know

Confused about herpes testing? You’re not alone. Between swab tests, IgM, IgG, and the Western Blot, it can be hard to know which test is accurate, when to take it, and how to avoid false positives.

In this episode, I’ll walk you through:

✅ How each herpes test works – swab, IgM, IgG, and Western Blot

✅ The best timing for testing to avoid false negatives

✅ Why IgM tests are unreliable (and even the CDC says skip them)

✅ How to interpret low positive IgG results

✅ When and why to confirm with a Western Blot

✅ How to get accurate results and avoid unnecessary anxiety

By the end, you’ll know exactly which herpes test to ask for, when to take it, and how to confirm your results so you don’t walk away with the wrong diagnosis.
