is it possible to be married for 15 years, and both partners being faithful, to have female get herp
Been married for 13 years, engaged for 2 more. Both partners have been faithful - I hope! Now, my wife just went to the OB, and found out she may have herpes. She gave vaginal birth to 2 kids - and, had a breakout of these white sores during her college years. The college doc said herpes negative, and gave her drugs that cleared. her OB today, felt that the doc in the late 80's was wrong.
Is is possible to not have symptons for 15 years, and for me not to have any after 15 years of married sex?
Concerned and confused.
Yes it is possible she was mis-diagnosed - yes, it is possible to only have the visible outbreak after 15 years, though she may have been harboring the virus. I am interested as to what your doctor is saying regarding the 2 vaginal births (I assume they were vaginal) and the possible exposure of both children to herpes.
There are situations where it seems 'impossible" but a spouse exposed for years still comes up negative. I would practice safe sex with a condom from this point on and be attuned to when your wife has a recurrence with a visible rash so that you can refrain from sex during that time period. I would also talk to the doctor about anti-viral therapy.
