Herpes simplex virus antibody

Antibodies to herpes simplex virus can appear in the blood about 1 week after the primary infection of herpes simplex virus, reaching a peak in 3-4 weeks, which can last for many years. Antibodies to herpes simplex virus inactivate the virus outside the cell, which has a certain effect on preventing the virus from spreading through the blood stream and limiting the course of the disease, but it cannot eliminate the latent infection virus and prevent recurrence.
