Expert Q & A Answers About herpes testing  Is it possible to
have herpes and not know it?  I’m a 21-year-old woman. I'm.
About six months ago, I found out that I have genital herpes.
The only person I could have contracted it from is my current
boyfriend (he’s my first). We’re close and I believe he didn’t
know he had the virus, but my family and friends think he must
have known. Is it possible that a man might not know he has the
herpes virus?  Could you explain how you get herpes?  I’m
worried about getting herpes. How do you get herpes and how can
I protect myself?
