A member asked:
So what is a asymptomatic carrier? what does this mean i truly don't understand.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See answer: That means you have the disease, detectable in your blood or urine, etc., but are lucky to have no symptoms. You still have the disease in your system though, and can transmit it to others.
