I have herpes and today I went to my ob for a routine IUD check that I just had put in. I've been married for four years and I have a 1 year old. I have been faithful and I believe my husband has been faithful as well. We are both so painfully busy, so there would be no time! Anyway, my question is: is it possible to that I contracted it from my husband and just had a healthy enough outbreak to even notice it? I also just started tanning nude on some tanning beds and read that tanning can start it. Maybe someone before me had it and secreted and now I have it. Please reply
Well, the incubation period for herpes is generally 2-20 days so it is possible that you got it from your husband. It is difficult, however, to know with certainty who is responsible and who is a carrier. You see, you can be carrier even without knowing that… Sometimes it shows only when you’re under a stress… Also, tanning has been cited as a possible factor in outbreaks so maybe it just helped it to “surface”. I think that you should speak with your doc about it to clear all up.
