My mother had annual hsv-1 outbreaks for many years when i was growing up. similarly, my first girlfriend also had frequent outbreaks, yet i've never had a single one. can i assume that i'm asymptomatic and already have the virus or is it unlikely?

Chance of HSV-1 past exposure is very high at your age, especially with that history. Take care.
