Getting the antibodies for herpes does not mean you contracted it it means u were exposed to it and u might or might not have it..my doc said?

No disease: That usually means that even though you may be harboring the virus, it is not causing any disease. This is actually true for many other virus noticeably the chickenpox virus which causes shingles when one's immune system is down.
