A member asked:
Do herpes antivirals affect igg levels for an already established infection (one has for more than a year)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
HSV antibody test: If antiviral treatment (valacyclovir, acyclovir) is started within a few weeks of exposure or the initial infection, they can interfere with antibody development. If treatment is started more than 3 months after acquring the infection, it has no effect on antibody testing.
