IgG antibodies are usually detectable from 21 to over 42 days following HSV infection, with most individuals having detectable IgG 21–28 days after exposure to the infection and probably lasting for life.
IgM antibodies are usually detectable 9–10 days after exposure and last 7–14 days, although they may remain detectable for up to 6 weeks in a minority of individuals.
