my wife has contracted herpies. if we had sex on time, could i not have herpies? r the tests acurate for herpies without symptons? do herpies commonly stay dormant for as much as 10 or 15 years, or is it more common that a female breaks out with a week or so of infection?

Frank,

Thanks for the post. You should find this video interesting as it explains about herpes remaining dormant. If you think you might have been exposed, it is best to contact a doctor.
