You should go with HSV 1+2 IGG As without IGG differentiation between HSV1 and HSV 2 is not possible

Tzank smear is a quick test it is not a blood test. There is also pcr test. The doctor needs your history to prescribe the appropriate test. There is no best test. Are you studying for an exam or do you need medical help?
Next Steps
If you need help kindly consult online with me or with a doctor in your area for history evaluation investigations and treatment.

All that I know is that these tests are available. You go to the Laboratory for HSV testing. You don't tell the Pathologist or the Technician about the sub class of the test.
