I am 50yrs old been with husband for 26yrs. I have recently come out in sores on labia got all symptoms of herpes. Husband has said he has not cheated on me in 20yrs plus. So how could this now happen? Been to clinic they said it looks like herpes so I am now waiting for results. But how could this happen now at my age? I am trying to put together all the past but it just don't add up. I have also recently travelled through Thailand, so could I of caught something there? My husband also has the symptoms now but he said this has never happened before? Please help me I am devastated.

      I'm so sorry to hear, did you ask your dr if it can come out after 20 yrs ? I guess they put you on some kind of medicine ?? and how has your husband took this ?

    ☹ what  miserable this to happen. we put our trust in another person only for them to betray us.  absolutely shameful. no one deserves that sort of treatment. 

    i am soo sorry. i hope they find you a medicine that will give you some releif.

    i suppose if someone had it, didn't wash their hands and then touched your genitals, you could get it.
