You are so welcome, I know this can be challenging for many people.

Hi thanks for your detailed response, it is much appreciated. I think I am a bit obsessive about things because I spend hours trawling sites like this for any information about similar experiences to mine! I haven't found one single similar question to mine but I read other tortured souls messages and realise that I should just put this out of my head and get on with life. But your reply has given me something to focus on and whenever I feel the compulsion to google about herpes, I just read what you have told me and feel a bit calmer!! Thank goodness us poor obessives have someone like you to turn to! Thanks again.
Well, I can't really know if your husband has herpes or not. But the stinging bottom thing doesn't sound like herpes to me. Let's say for the sake of argument that he does have herpes (which I have no reason to believe). If you've not acquired it from him after this many years, then it is quite unlikely that you will. We know that in long term couples where one is infected with HSV 2 and the other is not, that the longer they are together, the less likely they are to transmit virus to the uninfected partner, So that's a good thing! I'm not sure why this is a focus of concern for you, but from my perspective, I think the chances of you getting herpes, either because he doesn't have it or because transmission is unlikely now, are very low indeed.
