[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For HSV having a positive antibody test means you have the antibodies for the virus in your blood. Which means you have it. It means the virus is in your blood. Could be dormant, you could have zero outbreaks, one outbreak or outbreaks all the time. It means you have the virus and can spread it to others.[b] If you test positive for the antibody test you will always test positive for it-because it’s permanent[/b]. It’s totally fine if some of you are comfortable with that but it doesn’t change the fact that the person has it. Maybe they will never have an outbreak and will never spread it but honestly there is no way to know that. Someone can have it dormant for years and then have an outbreak. [/quote]

But that’s not true

[quote]Thank you for explaining this. 20 years ago, I tested positive for antibody when I was in HS and I was so confused because I was still a virgin.

I’ve never had a cold sore in my life. When i tested for the hsv again in college (this time i was sexual), I didn’t have the antibody[/quote]

Most people get HSV-1 during childhood so it wouldn’t be weird at all for you to test positive for it in high school. People get it from being kissed by parents/family members. That being said false negatives/false positives were definitely a thing with the tests 20 years ago so it also was probably just a false positive.

[b]Also they for sure test pregnant women for HSV-2 but only if you tell them you have it/Have possibly been exposed. They asked me about it in all 3 of my pregnancies. [/quote][/b]

They clearly don’t. If you’re not showing any signs of an outbreak. You can request but they don’t “for sure test”. [/quote]

Because the OP said her doctor didn’t? Obviously her doctor isn’t a good one. They absolutely test you if you tell them you have it or might have it. Doctors want to protect the babies.

But yeah-who cares. It’s just herpes. It can actually kill babies but no really it’s fine. Some of you are really insane.

Also some of you need to look up what the word permanent means. Because you seem confused. [/quote]
A very large percentage of the population has HSV1 and  or 2. This is very common. [/quote]

16.2% of the US population has HSV-2. I wouldn’t say that is a very large percentage. But I guess you took a different kind of statistics class where 16.2% means a very large percentage. [/quote]
People with HSV2 LOVE to mix the stats on 2 with 1 to make it seem oh so common. [/quote]

Lolol. 16% is a BIG percentage. I guess you may have taken a statistics class but you are still innumerate. [/quote]
16% is still not “very common”. And  many others keep commenting and claiming “70%” of the population has herpes just to muddy the waters by mixing up the 2 types of herpes. [/quote]
