Test for Herpes time frame

Hello,  I was diagnosed with HSV 2 mid December.  My boyfriend at the time won't have it that I may have contracted it from him. I am not looking to place any blame, I'd like to know the possibility of where I may have contracted this so I can let that person know, incase they don't know (asymptomatic).

Is there a test I can do to work out how long the virus has been in my system? If I may have contracted it a while ago and not have known or if my initial OB was when I contracted the virus? I was with BF 3 days before I started showing symptoms. I've never had any symptoms before.

I am on valtrex suppressive therapy since my first OB seemed to consist of non stop OBs since I first showed symptoms.  It was a vicious attack that affected my bladder and feet along with nausea, extreme tiredness and fever as well as the usual blisters. I seem to have come good now and am down to just one valtrex tablet per day.  Would this mask my results of finding out how long I have had this?

Thanks,

Red.
