If igm antibodies for hsv 1&2 appear before igg antibodies in blood tests, how much sooner does igm appear compared to igg?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Variable: Igm antibodies may appear in about a week and igg in about two weeks, after infection. However, there are wide variations to this time table in different individuals.
