Today I was diagnosed with HSV 1 and 2. I knew I had 1, have had it my whole life. I've been married 10 years, how did this happen?

I've heard that, that it is rare to have both. I just had my annual pap and told my doctor I wanted to get tested for everything. she said that it is possible that it has laid dormant for years and I never had any symptoms. she said my husband could have it and not know it.
