A member asked:
If i have symptoms for herpes hsv2 does that me my most recent partner of 1 mos gave it to me? is it possible the virus was dormant for years?

Yes to second Q: Hsv-2 can be dormant and suddenly break out with physical or emotional stress. You might have had it before recent partner, if you do actually have it. You might ask a doctor to culture a lesion to make sure.
