Question about shedding

About a month and a half ago I was diagnosed with HSV 2. I was retested at a different facility and again tested positive for this. I have never had any outbreaks and have always been in good health. I only had myself tested because I later found out that the guy that I had been with was with three other girls at the same time. He and two of the girls have told me that they were also tested and are clean. I don't know whether this is the truth or not, but frankly at this point, it doesn't matter. My question is this: How can I tell when I am at my most infectious? I have been reading about shedding but since I've never had anything resembling an outbreak, I don't have anything to compare it to. I was talking to a friend who has genital herpes and she was asking me if I'd ever had bumps in my mouth. Every once in a big while, I will get a small bump that I pop. It's not painful though and hardly ever happens. Could this be me having an outbreak? I've never had any sores anywhere or itching. This is highly frustrating. Any guidance would be most appreciated.

I will gladly take a look at your test results to make sure that you were properly tested and don't need further confirmatory testing. even though you had 2 positives, that doesn't mean that you might not still need further testing.   since you've never had any symptoms that you are aware of, it's well worth taking this extra step!

all I need to see are the actual numeric results - e.g. hsv1 igg 4.5 and hsv2 igg 2.9 or whatever they are.
