How can you break out with herpes or something when you and your partner have both ONLY been with each other for the last 2.5 years?! How do you get them out of nowhere???
Where do they come from??
Is there a way you can get them all of a sudden?
Please help!!

could have been passed on from a previous partner who didn't know they had herpes.
could have been born with herpes.
could have been dormant and then come out if you are stressed out or if your immune system is worn down.
had oral sex with some one who had a cold sore.
had sex with some one who was healing or shedding the virus.
unless u had some sort of sexual contact with someone who had the virus, i don't think there is a way to get them all of the sudden.

It can take several months and even years for symptoms of genital herpes to show up once a person has been infected with the virus.
But, it's also possible that someone was cheating.
Take care!

It is possible to be born with herpes; if the mother was a herpes virus carrier, she can pass this to the baby during delivery. It is also possible to have oral herpes (cold sores, both on the outside of your mouth and on the inside) and pass them to your genital area if you touch your mouth and then your genitals. Or if you have oral herpes and perform oral sex on your partner, you could spread it to your partner's genitals.
Herpes symptoms can lie dormant for years, which is why the virus is so prevalent and easily spread; some people never know they have them.
Do not assume your partner is cheating. While that is a possibility, the ways I listed above are also very possible.

well someones had sex before or has been cheating, herpes can lay dormant in sum ones body for up to 40- 50 yrs. alot of women in their70's n 80's are being diagnosied with herpes, some of them haven't had sex in decades 70% of the human race have it, either mouth or genitals, 40% have no idea they have it, 20% know they have it, deal with it n tell their partners the other 10% also know they have it but choose not to tell any one and pass it on.
n don't think a condom will stop herpes as it won't, herpes affects the whole public region not just the penis.
hope that helps.

You can only get them from sex so it looks like someone's been cheating. There is proof that the virus can grow under a halogen light but it's likely you get it from that.
