You do have HSV 2!: You have antibody to HSV 2. So you were infected at one time and herpes virus lives in the infected person forever, in the nerves, and reactivates now and then. So you have the virus in you and there is no cure. See this site for more information and your risk to others. http://www.cdc.gov/std/herpes/STDFact-herpes.htm
