I was recently diagnosed with Herpes 2. I am 60 yrs old and have been with only 1 man for the last 35 yrs. He was tested and he came back negative. My gyn found, on my last check up, a small bump that she said looked like a pimple and asked if she could do a culture and have me do a blood test. I thought this was silly since I have never had any problems and like I said only been with my husband. So when she called and said it came back positive, I freaked out! Back in the 80's, because of a mix up at the lab on my pap smear and GC smear, I was sent to the health dept in Calif. to be tested for HIV, Herpes and whatever else there was. Turned out ALL negative. So now my question is HOW is it I have HERPES ? I have not had any breakouts that the doctor told me I would get now. Could this be something else?
