A member asked:
Could hsv1 infection (determined by blood test) be indicative of exposure a few days prior to test? can lgg antibody buildup in few days?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nope, too soon: It takes a minimum of 10 days, and usually more than 2 weeks (up to 16 weeks) to develop antibody in reasponse to a new HSV infection. This result shows you had HSV1 before that exposure.
