If i made out with a guy whose ex had herpes, but he said he did not, then do I have herpes?
I'm seriously scared. I don't think we have open sores on our mouths, but does that mean I have it? Ugh.

He might have the virus and has just no showed any signs or symptoms of it (like sores). Some people can have the virus for months and even years before they show any signs of it.
Best thing to do is to go get tested.
Remember herpes can be spread whether the person has sores or not!

You can't just get a test to see if you have herpes. You must be in the middle of an active outbreak and only then can a doctor take a sample and look at it under a microscope or send it out as a culture. This goes for both types of herpes.
So for now try not to worry until you actually get an outbreak. It will be a waiting game. How to hurry up the process? Spend time in a tanning bed or go out in the sun for a day. That should spawn one around the mouth. Stress also causes outbreaks. If you don't see anything within the time frame of a month, you should be okay.

Genital herpes:
A common infection caused by the herpes simplex virus type 2 or type 1.
Type 1 is commonly acquired through oral sex, while type 2 is transmitted through sexual intercourse.
Symptoms include small blisters in the genital area which rapidly break down to leave painful ulcers.
Other symptoms include pain or difficulty in passing urine. Some patients may develop headache and fever.
Herpes infection during late pregnancy is potentially dangerous to the baby during labour.
Herpes is a life-long chronic condition which cannot be cured.
However, there are antiviral drugs available which can reduce the severity of symptoms.
Genital herpes cannot be cured. Once infected, the virus stays in the body for the rest of the individual's life.
Research suggests that the virus can be transmitted even when there are no symptoms present, so that a sexual partner without obvious genital herpes sores may still transmit the illness. In fact, asymptomatic spread may actually contribute more to the spread of genital herpes than do active sores.
