Contracting herpes

2017-09-15 22:05:03
Last year I got into a relationship with someone. We had sex and she told me a month later that she already had herpes. She said a doctor told her that she can only spread it to a male and not another female... is this true? She hasn't had a break out (not that I know off) and we are sexually active... is there a possibility that I could have herpes??
