I just found out I have the antibodies for genital herpes.  I've never had any symptoms.  I'm concerned if this means my days of recieving oral sex are over.  :(

ya i believe its possible. I believe i have type 2 on my mouth. It is pretty much dormant unless i do someone with type 2 on there genitals. But yes i caught it from someoen that i didnt even know he had it so ya its spreadable. Though its very rare to get it on the mouth.
