herpe antibodies

aj i was wondering what can cause delay of herpe antibodies to a newly infected besides if they had already had hsv-1.basically are there any factors that lead to antibodies being produced in a longer amount of time and shorter.some people develop in 3 weeks such as yourself.what may cause someone to develop them at 3 months for example.sorry if this question is slightly complicated but im just a little curious.thank you aj

Not necessarily.  Sometimes it seems as if people can find a rise in the numbers if they test more than once, but others don't - it seems as if they just appear.

Really - I know its hard to wait, but this is starting to border on obsession, hon.  I know you asked this before, and it wasn't addressed (at least, I am taking your word on it because I'm not going to go through and re-read all 63 posts lol), but its time to stop and do something FUN.  Go about your normal life.

The testing you had is very reliable and, in my opinion is the best. From your information and the symptoms you desribe, I can tell you with greater than 95 % certainty that you do not have Herpes. Take care.
