    Difference between herpes & herpes antibodies?
    I was wondering, because I was told in February that I have genital herpes, and that my blood work was showing I was having a current outbreak, but I didn't have no soars, My gynecologist said that I been exposed to it and that I have the antibodies for it meaning that Its possible I may never get an outbreak, what is the difference? I thought if you have herpes, you just have it, I don't think its possible to just be a carrier of it?

    Thank you, so basically it is just that some people do not get the full blown outbreak while others may be having a present one and not know it at all?
