Antibodies are made as a response to the a particular pathogen. They are not the pathogen, just an indication that a pathogen is or was present in your body.
My question to my fellow MMS-ers.
Should I have the IgG test (antibody detection test) OR the PCR (pathogen detection test) OR should I have both test for HSV?????

I'm not in America so that lab is not available to me.
@Paul, paying for the test is not a problem. I have health insurance and can use different Dr's for the test if need be.
I think I will have both test and then re-test again with both 3-6 months later
Thanks all the same.

That is my issue, if antibodies signify that the virus is or was present in the body that means that they can get infected as this is an infectious disease. It is was some other disease I could understand, i just dont think it is safe until the anti bodies are gone, not sure?

Antibodies are not the pathogen they are the response of your immune system trying to fight the pathogen.
If you had chicken pox in the past, then your immune system would have responsed to the virus and will produce antibodies.
However, after having chicken pox you are no longer infectious but you would still have the antibodies for it.
