Do I have herpes?

2018-04-05 10:09:27
Hello, my girlfriend has just been diagnosed with genital herpes after suffering her first outbreak. We’ve been having fairly regular, mostly unprotected sex for around 7 months, & less regular sex for around 10 months before that. Is there any chance I don’t already have the virus?
