I am a 63 year old woman whose blood test came back positive for genital herpes. I have been married for 43 years. My husband states he has never been unfaithful. We have not had any sexual contact or intercourse for the last 7 years, as he is in kidney failure and a diabetic.

Ok so how can this be? And how did I get it? How long can the virus be dormate? I know he slept with 2 females prior to us getting married.
