I had a number of one night stand without protection before i met my long term g/f, see was tested recently and she was fine but i have some symptoms, could the infection be dormant and not be passed on untill it becomes active?

yep even if its dormant and your not doing anything to treat/suppres it then you can still pass it on. its called a-symptomatic shedding.

Yes it can.
HPV and herpes are noted for their ability to lie dormant without symptoms for years (especially in males) and still pass them on to others.

Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are passed from person to person during sexual activity. STDs such as chlamydia and gonorrhea are caused by bacteria. Single-celled organisms called parasites cause trichomoniasis. Genital herpes and human papillomavirus (HPV) are caused by viruses. The HIV virus, responsible for causing AIDs, is one of the deadliest STDs.

Yes, often you will not even know you have it. That is why you should use condoms.
