Is it possible to transmit herpes after this long??

Ok, so I'm 24. I just got off work last night and opened shocking letter I got in the mail. So, several weeks ago my guy friend suggested we both get tested because its been a while. His resulted in that he has clamidea. (I'm not too focused of spelling) so I went to the Dr. My pap smear came back normal and I was negative for gonorea and clamidea. So I thought everything was dandy. I've had clamidea a couple times in the past when I was in my teens but had it treated. Anyway, so I get this second letter saying I was positive for herpes ad? It also stated that I was exposed to it in the past. I was confused and called my guy to inform him but didnt understand because he was tested twice and didnt have it and I've only had sex with him for the past 2 and a half to 3 years and have been tested since then. While we were on the phone he was googling info on it, saying that its incurable. I freaked out a little. I don't have any symptoms. I then remembered a time when I was 16 and feat started having sex. I had gotten clamidea and what I believe I did have genital blisters I'm assuming must have been the herpes. Now I vaguely remember my Dr saying something to me along the lines of being a carrier. I don't remember too well. But I've never had an outbreak ever since in the past 8 years and I don't remember any previous tests stating I still had the curtains which I guess is what came as such a shock. I used to get test every 6 months to a year up until I was with my friend I'm with now because he's been my only partner so I guess I figured I wasnt in too much danger since I had been tested when we had first got together. I guess what I'm trying to say is, if I've been with him for almost 3 years and he hasnt been infected, is there still a risk he could be? I was never informed to keep taking meds to "control" its outbreak or whatever. But I've also had other long term relationships in the past where I don't believe is infected my partner. I guess I've just been lucky and so were they? Please give me some insight. I'd hate to think I could never feel intimate with my partner again because I know it freaked him out too. I'm just a little sad and confused.

I can  best help you if you post your actual test results - e.g. hsv1 igg 4.3 and hsv2 igg 4.3 or whatever they are. that way I can know how you were tested and see if you need additional confirmatory testing done.

has your partner had another partner recently? the reason I ask is because - 1 , don't you think it's a might suspicious for him to ask that you get std testing done at this point in your relationship and 2 , he's tested + for chlamydia and you didn't which means he's had another partner recently.  

odds are your partner hasn't been getting tested for herpes either. he'll need to look at his specific testing to know for sure.  also if he's had another partner recently, he needs to follow up with all std testing at the proper times.

Ok, start from the beginning: what type of testing did you have done? Did the test results show positive values for HSV-1 or HSV-2 or both?
