Do anti-virals effect production of HSV anti-bodies?


Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

I have GHSV-1 (diagnosed 3 months ago) and I've been taking daily 1,000mg Acyclovir due to ongoing burning/itching in order to prevent what always seems like an imminent OB (see my other thread on that).

Does daily anti-viral use mess with the bodies ability to produce anti-bodies over time? I really hope I'm not doing myself a disservice with the medicine and inhibiting the bady's natural defense buildup.

Any feedback on this would be appreciated!

This is a great question. I am trying to get U Washington to give a definitive statement I assume you were dismissed by swab An igg test type specific should show by now I think most doctors agree that your first outbreak produced antibodies if you took valtrex that really just engages cells outside the viralninactive nerve center which means it activated she’d virus and valtrex combined with your immune system cleared it Not sure if your antibodies are detectable though in a blood test
