How long can you have herpes without knowing?

Topics:Genital Herpes

I have been with my BF for 5 months now and have a very active sex life-lots and lots of oral.  I am a realitively healthy 32 year old girl and am very aware of my body and any changes that occur.  last week I thought I had a yeast infection and some sores on the outside of my vagina appeared.  This seemed unusual and it was not going away - hurting when I would go to the washroom.  My bf and I went to emergeny and the dr. said that it was herpies - did a swab and do not have the results back as of yet.  I have an appt with my dr. this week but so unsure and have so many questions.  Is it possible that I had this well before i started dating him?  I never have had any symptions before and it has been 5 months.  He does get the rare coldsore-once a year or less.....would you think this is type 1 or 2?

PMFLY,

 

It sounds like Genital Herpes. The same thing happened to me, same symptoms. People can have herpes their whole life and NEVER show ANY symtoms. It's very hard to trace back to where you got it from. Some people have one outbreak their entire life, some people have an outbreak once a month! It has a lot to do with your stress levels. If you're under a lot of stress, then your more likely to get more outbreaks. Just remember, if you do have herpes, it's not the end of the world sweetheart! There are ways of preventing spreading it to your partners. You can still have babies and lead a normal life. Good luck at your Doctors visit! If you need anyone to talk to, you can email me. (0:

I think I contracted herpes about one year ago, but am still in denial about getting tested.  Can people have one outbreak their whole life with the rash on their genital forever, or does it go away.  I am stressing about when my second outbreak will happen, or if it ever happens.  I hope not.  I am thinking that herpes is really bad.  Can you give me some help please.  How long have you had it and is it all that bad?  Can herpes go away for like five to ten years and then come back worse than ever?  Please help!!!!

There are two types of HSV, HSV type 1 and 2, and both can cause genital herpes.
