I've experienced the "no out break" for over 20 yrs.  was married for 4 and spouse never contracted it, I had no issue giving birth-naturally-high risk ob  never even checked blood prior birth. . . .I really don't get this either.  Would a DNA test verify this for certain over a culture or blood test?  I have been known to have things that "mimic" i.e. like mono-it really wasn't. Even though I haven't had a break out I have been suffering mentally from this, it was bad when I got it, by being lied to, it's even more difficult when people you love, or think love you reject you over and over w/in a 20+ year span.  Was it really love or is it truely ignorance. . .I don't know, I just hurt and hate the thought of growing old alone! If you ever get an answer to this please share w/me.  Also, I am going to take this to a Dr. in Seattle who did one of the studies. . . Thanks for letting me share. SZ
