I explained previously,,
Once you are infected with HSV, your body will create antibodies to fight the virus,,
So if you are newly infected, your antibodies not strong ma,,,
If you infected for a while le, your antibodies is present in your body,,
So the blood test is to test for the existence of these antibodies,,,
According to the doctor, if the test successfully tested the present of the antibodies, it means that you are infected with HSV for some time le,,
That’s what happened to us,,
My hubby got infected and confronted me,,,
I also not sure if he got it from me or got it somewhere,,,
Coz I cannot recall me having HSV,,,
That’s why to prove my “innocence” I went for the test lo
Apparently, I have the antibodies present in my body,,,
So means I am a HSV carrier all these while,,,
Just that I didn’t know,,,
