Question:
I was tested a year ago for herpes and it was negitive, and I had a outbreak about 2 weeks ago, I tested positive. I am married, I know that I didn't cheat, I kinda had a feeling that my husband was, but he swears that he hasn't, could I have had this, for a long time and test negitive? or did I just get it within the last year? I asked my Doc. and she believes that I have just gotten it. because I tested neg a year ago, and I had a hesterctomy last July. I want to believe that my husband is telling me the truth, but I need to know. He has never had a outbreak, My Doc. says that some men never have outbreaks, but can be a carrier. I just need some peace of mind, me and my husband have been married 2 years, and I want to believe him, but I still remember that in Dec. he got distant and I thought he was cheating, in Feb I went to the doc. because I thought I had a bad yeast infection and she told me it was a sexually transmitted INFECTION, and then tested me for herpes, and it was postive. so can some one help me sort this out? :?

Answer:
?Has he/she cheated?? is probably one of the biggest most asked questions on the Internet forums these days. Your answer lies within your heart, as you look into your partner?s eyes when you ask him/her that question. I?ve learned long ago to trust my heart. The truth is your partner very well could have cheated, contracted the virus, which was than passed onto you. In the majority of the cases I?ve studied partners who haven?t cheated contracted the virus years ago. The virus has remained dormant or asymptomatic for years. The person infected has no clue that they have contracted the virus and may show no symptoms ever. In most of these cases the virus is shedding asymptomatically, the host spreads the virus to others un-knowingly. I have no credible evidence as to how long the virus can remain dormant in a host?s body, but I have read many testimonials that suggest the virus could remain dormant or asymptomatic for up to 15 years.

Scum, trash and garbage can be found anywhere on earth. The biggest scum/trash on earth are people who knowingly go around infecting others with this plague. Their sole mission in life is to have sex with as many people as possible. These people truly disgust me and they deserve to be shot like criminals. For those of you who knowingly date someone with herpes you know how it spreads and the signs to watch out for. If infected learn your body?s signs before outbreak and use common sense before you engage in sex with partners. These precautions can severally reduce spread of infection. For those of you involved in serious relationships your chances of catching herpes will eventually catch up with you even if protection is used. If both you and your partner are currently infected with the herpes virus, avoid sex during outbreak and wait it out until the ulcers have completely healed before engaging in any sexual activity. If you fail to do so you will continue to spread the infection from one partner to the other. If partner one is actively shedding HSV-1 while partner two is infected with HSV-2 (shedding) and they both have sex, there is a good chance that they will infect one another with both strains of the herpes simplex virus.
