A member asked:
I am a 35 year old women and got diagnosed with genital herpes about 4 months ago. is it possible that i could have had herpes for years and not know?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Herpes is Silent: Yes. Of course. That is why anyone who knows anything about herpes is encouraging all sexually active adults to have the blood tests to know their status. It is now thought that up to 90% of those infected do not get sores and do not know they are infected.
