Get Rid Of Herpes Virus! Get It Out Of The Body For Ever.

Shut It Down. Make It Weak During An Outbreak and Kill The Virus Before It Has a Chance To Get Back To Safe Spot in The Spinal Cord!

Question: What do it mean when your body build antibodies to the virus? Do that mean you still have herpes and will still have break outs?

Answer

To answer your question I think it is important to know what your immune system is?

The immune system is that complex operation within our bodies that keeps us healthy and disease-free.

Few systems in nature are as complicated as the human immune system. It exists apart from, and works in concert with, every other system in the body. When it works, people stay healthy. When it malfunctions, terrible things happen.

The white blood cells are the main fighting soldiers in the body's immune system. They destroy foreign or diseased cells in an effort to clear them from the body. This is why a raised white blood cell count is often an indication of infection. The worse the infection, the more white blood cells the body sends out to fight it.

Laboratory Testing
A way to diagnose herpes is to detect antibodies in the blood that the body has made to fight off the virus after infection. These antibodies last for a lifetime after an infection. They can be detected by a blood test even if no signs or symptoms are present at the time the patient visits the doctor. Antibodies develop even when patients have never had symptoms of herpes.

Blood tests to identify antibodies are called "serology". Serology can help show that herpes infection has occurred in situations where it is difficult to obtain or to properly transport a sample for virus detection tests. If performed correctly, antibody tests can identify a person as having had an HSV-2 infection or an HSV-1 infection, or both viruses sometime in the past. HSV blood tests are confusing to patients and to clinicians as well.

The present testing for herpes is based on antibody testing as with either the IgM/IgG Elisa Test or the Western Blot Test. Both these merely signifies that the virus once existed within the body. They do not tell us anything about the likelihood of transmission or whether the virus has been eliminated from the body. They can not determine a cure.

"Can you ever produce a negative result again?" The answer is yes, if you take the test no sooner than 90 days after completion. We found that 90 days is the normal time frame it takes for the immune system to change and the antibodies to return to normal. I repeat: If the treatment was successful it shouldn't be possible to transmit the disease no..


Viral PCR
PCR or "polymerase chain reaction" tests are the most accurate tests for herpes. PCR techniques make many copies of the viral genetic material (DNA) in a short time so that even tiny amounts of virus are sufficient for a positive test. Only about 4 hours is needed once the specimen arrives in the lab. PCR can tell if HSV-1 or HSV-2 DNA is present. PCR is more expensive than culture but may be the only test sensitive enough to find herpes DNA in serology that does not contain much virus.

The ultimate test is PCR of spinal fluid, it is the most accurate test for viruses in existence to detect viral DNA. The PCR test can be done on blood but it is uncertain, more reliable on spinal fluid where the virus hides between outbreaks. The PCR DNA test tracks viral DNA and can find herpes simplex virus even when no symptoms are present. The PCR tracks Viral DNA. Absence of DNA means no Virus.

When PCR is negative it means that no viral DNA could be detected. i.e. No viral DNA means no virus, therefore no disease. Cured if you like. And what's more you cannot transmit a disease that no longer exists in your body.
