A member asked:
Does the flu stay in our body forever? what is the different between antibodies and latent viruses such as chicken pox?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Flu virus does not stay in the body once you recover. Antibodies are protective molecules that body makes to fight infections. Chicken pox, CMV, HSV are some of the viruses that stay in body for the rest of the life of a person., once infected. Get flu vaccine.
