Q: Do I have an STD?

My boyfriend of 6 months was diagnosed genital herpes. Does that mean I have it too? I haven't had any outbreaks, but I've heard that some infected people go years without an outbreak. Help!

You may have it and so a bit of education is in order.  Please check out the herpesconnection.com and see my current blog that give a lot of info on diagnosis and treatment.  Yes, you can have herpes and remain without symptoms.
