Hi doctor, I am a 26 years old male. I underwent a blood test recently and found that there are HSV antibodies present in my blood. I discussed about this, with my doctor. He told that presence of antibodies means I was infected once with HSV. But I am sure that I haven’t had any herpes outbreak in my life. He confirmed that I don’t have it now. My doubt was to rule out a possibility of me spreading the virus to others whom I may have sex with. Is there a chance for such a spreading? The doctor, with whom I have consulted, told me that herpes can be spread from me to someone else, only if there was an outbreak. But from some other sources, I read that, there is no need of outbreak to transmit this infection to others. What is the fact about this? Due to different opinions I am currently abstaining from sex. Please help me to become sexually active, as I was before. Thanks for your time.
