herpes is one of hardest viruses to diagnose. many people carry the virus in their body but may go months or even years without an outbreak. the best advice i can give to you is to always use protection when sexually active and whenever you think you might be having an outbreak to see your doctor just in order to be sure. hope this helps
i tested positive for hsv-2 anti-bodies. i have not had an outbreak. does this mean i have the virus? . after a blood test my doctor said i had tested positive for hsv-2 anti-bodies. he told me that this means i have come in contact with the herpes virus. however he told me he could not tell me if i had the virus or not. he said there was no test for the herpes virus and that we wouldn't know if i had it until i have an outbreak. its been almost a month now since i last had sex and have not had an outbreak.
