Herpes: First and foremost at 25 you should have had a blood test by now to determine if you have previously been exposed to herpes. 90% of those with herpes do not have sores but can still be contagious. It is very unlikely but not impossible to get herpes as your described above. But, i would come down on the improbable side. Get your test. Know the new facts about herpes.
