    Nope, afraid not. It's for sure & certain you won't do that again. From here on WRAP IT! Do urself & everyone else a favor, go get examed & don't have sex again until you know for sure honey, please. And for the record, she SHOULD HAVE TOLD YOU 1st!

    It doesn't pass with each encounter, so the odds are more likely that you don't have it. You don't even know which type she has. Sounds like it could be HSV1 due to her lack of outbreaks, in which case the odds are even more in your favour. In any case, there's nothing you can do or take after the fact. Next time, use a condom whether the person says they're "clean" or not.

    Okay firstly you should always wear a condom. However having said that if she hasnt had an outbreak in 5 years this means the virus is dormant in her nervous system and at this stage she is not infectious. Although there might be asymptotic shedding (which is when the virus is on her skin but she has no symptoms and is infectious at this stage). She has had it for over 5 years so the chances of this happening would greatly decrease. Theres a 4% chance she passed it on to you... chill!

    We have loads of viruses within our genome thats just how evolution happened. There are multiple other herpes viruses that live within us like: hsv 1 which causes cold sores and chickenpox which we all most likely have had. Cold sores are not always on the lips even if you do have it. Its the exact same thing for herpes!

    Get tested if it would put your mind at ease.

    You're mostly 100% fine. Just learn for next time you might not be so lucky!

    If you wore a condom you most likely wouldn't of got it, I don't know why you wouldn't wear one, I mean either way who's to say this girl hasn't got HIV?

    Herpes is not your risk other things are be careful next time
