Herpes infections in humans
Question: Tell me, please, but I can not understand. If herpes is a man, the analyzes always indicate its presence or tests to show the presence, only in the case when he began to show itself? And in any case tests negative for herpes, in that case, if it is not at all or it is not manifest itself? Please answer
Answer: Hello! Analysis of the herpes virus becomes positive in the case, if the number of virus bodies in the blood is very high. This happens during exacerbations. After the first contact with the virus enters the body in the ganglion cells of the trigeminal nerve, which can persist in a latent form indefinitely long time, sometimes a lifetime, without causing clinical manifestations. In the period of exacerbation (usually the case with lowered immunity), the virus is activated, goes into the bloodstream, multiplies, and the analysis becomes positive. A negative test would be in if the herpes virus in the body is not, in fact, if he himself does not show.
