I am a 63 year old woman whose blood test came back...
herpes is spread easily. The virus from contact with an infected person can enter your body through a break in your skin or through the skin of your mouth, penis or vagina, urinary tract opening, cervix or anus. Herpes is most easily spread when blisters or sores can be seen on the infected person. But it can be spread at any time, even when there aren't any symptoms.
If you are confused, I recommend a herpes support community for you: http://www.stdpal.com. There are many people who can manage herpes successfully now. Good luck! You will get more advice once you post out your problem.
