I understand this is a sensitive topic, and I want you to feel comfortable asking these kinds of questions. As an STD assistant, I can provide some general information about herpes and double infections, but I would advise consulting a healthcare professional for your specific situation.

Having HSV-2 antibodies means you have been exposed to and developed antibodies against the herpes simplex virus type 2, which typically causes genital herpes. Once you have been infected with HSV-2, you carry the virus for life, even if you don't have regular outbreaks.

It is possible to get "double infected" or infected with both HSV-1 (oral herpes) and HSV-2 (genital herpes) if you have not previously been exposed to the other virus type. However, being infected with one type typically confers some protection against acquiring the other type in a new location.

That said, having an existing herpes infection does not prevent you from experiencing new outbreaks or transmitting the virus to partners, even if they also carry the same virus type. Practicing safer sex by using condoms and avoiding sexual contact during outbreaks can reduce but not eliminate the risk of transmission.

I would recommend discussing your specific concerns with a doctor or sexual health clinic. They can provide personalized guidance based on your test results, symptoms, and sexual history. Don't hesitate to reach out to healthcare providers for the care and support you need.
