I just found out that I have been exposed to Herpes....so I have the antibodies?? My question can I still infect someone else now....even though I havent had any signs for three years??

Being exposed is not the same as having contracted the virus. It's not an automatic thing. The first thing you need to do is find out if you actually got the virus. Sounds like it was awhile ago, so a blood test will do it for you. Go get an IgG HerpesSelect blood test.

If it's negative, you didn't get the virus and you don't need to worry. If it's positive, you do have the virus. Regardless of whether you show symptoms, you can still pass it on, so you must inform partners and use safe sex etc.
