Question:
How is it possible to have tested positive for herpes with a blood test, and have NO symptoms?[/b]

Answer:
90% of those who have herpes don't even know it. They never have symptoms. You are one of them. You build up antibobies in your blood so it can be detected in the blood. Your immune system keeps you from having symptoms. You can however have an outbreak in the future, so be safe not to spread it. You can even spread it when you dont have symptoms.

Answer:
I don't have any symptoms of herpes, yet this guy whom I've been sleeping with has just informed me that he's got herpes. He thinks I gave it to him, but I'm defensive because I have no way of knowing whether or not I have it, until I get a blood test. What prompted you to get a test, since you didn't have any symptoms either? If I have it, I must have gotten it from someone who didn't know they had it, either. If this is the case, it would seem that almost everyone could have it; only those who have outbreaks realize it.

Answer:
Pretty much sums it up. Read up on it, you may be surprised how this stuff "works". Un fortunately most people are not aware of it until they get it, then its too late
