The test is not FDA cleared for screening blood or plasma donors. The performance of this assay has not been established for immunocompromised patients, pediatric patients or matrices other than human serum. For In Vitro Diagnostic Use Only. A positive result indicates previous exposure to Type 2 Herpes Simplex Virus.
