A member asked:
The igg test for hsv-2 was positive for antibodies. my pediatrician said i was exposed. does this also mean i'm infected, and potentially contagious?

Incomplete info: HSV 2 can either represent prior exposure to and experience with cold sores or genital herpes. The strain is not specific to one site or the other.You may know if you had signs of either and you could pass the germ during an outbreak with either (and maybe other times too).
