herpes simplex (HSV) test,

a blood test or microscopic culture done to detect types 1 and 2 of the herpes simplex virus. HSV1 is primarily responsible for the oral lesions known as "cold sores" whereas HSV2 is a sexually transmitted viral infection of the urogenital tract, although crossover of the two types can occur. Culture is the more accurate of the two types of tests.
