Past : Past exposure to herpes, means the person has herpes. You either have type one or type 2. In the usa about one in 5 people have herpes antibodies. Among sexually active new yorkers it is like 90%. You are in the herpes hotbed of america. You need to find out if it is herpes one or two. Two can be nasty and angry. One is common and benign.
