You'd have to check to see if the labcorp lab you used still had the immunoblot that they were using or if they had automatically switched over to the captia test. the default type specific herpes test at labcorp is now the captia test.
as far as I know captia doesn't make an immunoblot herpes igg blood test.

Thanks Grace.
I saw on the LabCorp order from that it was for an HSV IgG Type Specific 1and 2 Immunoblot.
Hmmmm.
So LabCorp des not have the HerpesSelect anymore or do you mean that unless you specifically order the HerpesSelect they switch you over to Captia?
Also, what lab does the BioKit come from? Or how would it be ordered?
And one final question - if my doc orders the Western Blot via Quest do I have to call the U of W? Or does Quest handle that now? (I got a WB years ago and had to call, etc.)
Sorry for all the questions!
Thanks!
If your doc orders the WB from quest, nothing you have to do.
The biokit info is available at biokitusa.com.
