I have been married for 28 years and just had my first outbreak. It was a new infection, and even though my husband has never had any kind of sore ever, he tested positive for HSV 1 that was an old infection. If I had not broken out he never would have been tested. He was not broke out when he gave it to me and still has not had any kind of sore at all. It amazes me that it took 28 years before I got it. I've never had any symptoms of anything down there. I now have HSV 1 on my genitals, given to me by my husband of 28 faithful years. This is not something we thought we would ever have to deal with.
