Hubby just found out he has genital herpes?

Is it possible my hubby has been a carrier genital herpes for over 13 years and never have had an outbreak except the one he had starting last month? We've been married for 10 and never has this happened. He swears he has been faithful to me. I can't help but feeling weary of this cause I am clean. Anyone confirm that this is possible? dr said stress causes outbreaks and he has been stressed. I dont kow. Any honest decent answers would be greatly appreciated.

The symptoms of genital herpes vary from person to person. Some people have severe symptoms, such as many painful sores, while others have mild symptoms. Some people may have no symptoms but they can still spread herpes. Sometimes only very mild sores appear, but are mistaken for an insect bite or other skin problems. Perhaps this is the case and the outbreaks were overlooked.

Well, this I've never heard about. You really need to get an opinion from your doctor. I just can't believe that he's been a carrier of this for 13 years and has only had his first outbreak in the last 10 years just recently. This just doesn't seem right....so I think your concerns are legitimate. It's best to have this confirmed by your doctor. Best of luck to you.
ok let me tell you to start, i have it too. now the possibilty does exist he could go that long then have one, BUT....very unlikely. i have had it for almost 4 years, no medication ever, and have never had any symptoms, but i've still done my homework. not just mental stress but physical stress too, can cause an outbreak. most of the time when your first exposed to the virus you'll have an outbreak within about 2 weeks
if i were in your situation, i would have trouble believing the other, too. if he didn't have one then, i cant see why he would now.
but remember, theres no 100% answer on this. the possibility that he didn't know does exist. i would hire a detective or something to find out if he is cheating.
I believe it is quite possible. Many people who have herpes are asymptomatic. Stress is a huge factor in an outbreak. See links. Honestly, I know you're freaking out but at least it isn't fatal.

It is very uncommon to have herpes that shows no sign for a whole decade. I have a Biology degree in Anatomy and Physiology.......did he tell you 13 years ago that he had herpes? If this is a brand new issue with a brand new outbreak...then hun...I hate to be the bearer of bad news.....he didn't get it from a bad dream. He's been screwing around on you. Dump his ***. Why should you have to be in danger of AN INCURABLE DISEASE? I repeat INCURABLE. It's worse with women because we are always in one way or another moist down there from natural secretions, and our periods. And constant moisture is an agitant that can cause it to flare up in a woman. Is this what you want? So this might be a good time for you to break away and do some things with your life that marraige has kept you from. Go see about YOU. I would get out fast.
Most of the time the person has had one outbreak in the past, though often it is very mild and goes completely unnoticed. Stress and illness make it more likely he'll have another outbreak. At this point, there's honestly no way to know when he contracted it. Sorry.
