If i have a herpes breakout right now around my vagina and anus, does that mean i just recently got infected with it?

Question

Could my boyfriend of 4 months be cheating?

Answer

The Herpes Simplex Virus can lay dormant for years with no symptoms or outbreaks.

Answer

Usually herpes will present itself within 3 weeks of being exposed to itself, meaning if you are exposed to it and contract it you will have an outbreak within 3 weeks of getting it. So, I would be looking into your relationship and who you’ve both been with as of recent.

Answer

lol did you go to Coachella too?

Answer

Your boyfriend could have always had it and didn’t tell you. He could have just recently had a breakout and that’s how you got it. It’s usually not spread unless the person is having a breakout at the time of intercourse.

Answer

I’m not pointing fingers, but the percentage of people that said no to this question blows my mind at how uneducated people really are to the facts of STDs. It’s a scary world out there, and sexual health is super important! It affects every aspect of your life and educating yourself on the important facts I think is a priority. Especially if you have children or if you’re giving advice to others. Something like herpes is treatable, to lessen the breakouts, but it is NOT cureable! It is serious, so please do your research!
