Herpes late in life

[sitch75]

can one get herpes in there twentys or thirtys and not have symptoms surface until their fiftys. In additon can you catch herpes if a person threw feces, urine, saliva and seman on a woman, especially if it hits them in the crotch area and they were not allowed to clean up for a couple of hours

herpes is transmitted thru direct contact.  Just having body fluids on you and not being able to wash them off isn't going to transmit it.

Can you be infected for 10 or 20 years and not realize it? Yes you can be.  only about 20% of folks with hsv2 are truly asymptomatic - the rest just don't know what to look for so you very well could be having symptoms of herpes and not just realize it. Sometimes it takes a very obvious ( and painful ) recurrence to get properly diagnosed or sometimes you aren't diagnosed until after you transmit to a partner and then get tested.

Will gladly help more with your specific situation if you need it if you provide more details.

You must live a very bizarre life, throwing poo on each other?

I have heard that herpes can lay dormant for years, best consulting a doctor to find out for sure
