Risk of transmission?
forrest7153
A blood test has shown the presence of HSV1 anti-bodies, indicating I have been exposed to the virus. I have never had an outbreak, as far as I know. Is it possible I could transmit the virus through a kiss?

There is no such thing as being exposed - you either have it or you don't. Do you recall your actual test results?
