A member asked:
Married 14 years and i've had hsv1 30 yrs. we've shared kisses and straws. although she's never had an outbreak, does she probably already have it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Many people can carry hsv without any symptoms or outbreaks. Based on the type and frequency of contact that you've had, she is likely to be an asymptomatic carrier of hsv.
