I'm going to try and be as sensitive as possible but if you only had one partner - then you got it from that partner - even if it showed up after celibacy for 4 years.  Please read  up more on herpes on this site.  There's alot of information there.

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