A member asked:

Is it possible to have first herpes outbreak after 10 years, or never realized it? is it possible my wife didn't contract it during this period?

Yes: Herpes can stay quiet for a long time, so its not unusual to have had an outbreak long ago that you've completely forgotten about and then have it reappear now.
