Antibodies are important so...

How do you build up antibodies? 

Ideally I don't want to take antivirals as I don't have a partner so i don't think it's necessary but I don't really want OB's.  I find them really stressful and they effective my mental health in a real negative way, it is also very difficult with my job.

So how does one build up antibodies?  I know it takes time but what else can I do?

Do I need to go off antivirals?  Do I need to go through OB's without antivirals?  Or do I just need to wait?

Thanks

Being on or off antivirals doesn't impact antibody production, so it's your call whether you stay on them or not. It sounds like you don't need them at this point. Check out this article for the 2 reasons you should take medication: https://www.herpesopportunity.com/post/herpes-medication

There's nothing you can do directly to build up antibodies, but certainly continue maintaining as healthy and stress-free lifestyle as possible helps your immune system to thrive, which is key to not just keeping herpes at bay, but of course living an awesome life to boot. It's a win-win!
