I know the basics about herpes but
realistically how likely is it to have it
for over 6 years and never have any
symptoms?
Typically the incubation is 21-90 days
then you get a first outbreak.
I know it can be spread without sexual
contact - but realistically how likely?
I know 100% that my partner has not
cheated. I know I have not cheated.
I have not slept with another person for
over 6 years, he has not slept with
another person for over 15 years.
Unfortunately I was a bit promiscuous
prior to my current partner.
Neither of us has ever had an outbreak of
herpes. Ever.
My partner now has a herpes outbreak.
How likely is it that I picked up the
infection 6 or more years ago and have
never had an outbreak of herpes, yet have
infected my partner at some point and
surely if that were the case he would have
had an outbreak by now. We have had
unprotected sex, the whole time we have
been together.

How do you know your partner didn't cheat?
Are they a quadriplegic locked in your
basement?
When infected with the herpes virus the
person infected gets an outbreak every
time within a couple days that lasts a few
days to a few weeks. It can then lie
dormant for a long period of time
(technically forever, but unlikely).
I'd start looking for a new partner. If
it smells like infidelity, looks like
infidelity, itches infidelity, and burns
when you pee like infidelity, it's
probably infidelity...
