Current first line treatments for HSV-1 (Herpes Simplex Virus type I, usually in the mouth region) and HSV-2 (Herpes Simplex Virus type II, usually in the genital region) are Acyclovir, Valacyclovir and Famcicolovir. These drugs are nucleoside analogs. Their method of action is to prevent the production or new viral genetic material by inserting themselves into the viral DNA and terminating synthesis. Therefore, they are only functional against stopping the production of new viruses. These drugs cannot kill existing viruses lying dormant in the neuron. Currently no drug exists to kill dormant (non-replicating) HSV-1 or HSV-2 in the body.

This describes the role of antibodies in the immune response. Antibodies bind to antigens, such as viruses or bacteria, and either mark them for destruction by other immune cells or neutralize their effects. This process helps the immune system to recognize and eliminate harmful invaders.
Can you become immune to viruses?

What have a defense mechanism with 20 different protein?
The immune system carries out defense mechanisms using antibodies. Antibodies are proteins produced by the immune system in response to specific antigens, helping to neutralize or eliminate pathogens like bacteria or viruses. Each antibody is unique, contributing to the diversity of the immune response.
HIV weakens the immune system by killing?
HIV weakens the immune system by killing the cells that help to protect against viruses. The HIV virus will make copies of itself throughout the body if treatments have not been used yet to help eliminate the virus.
Can you be immune to herpes simplex 1?
Yes, it is possible to develop immunity to herpes simplex 1 through the body's immune response, but the virus can still remain in the body and reactivate periodically.
