How long does the virus remain in your body? If i had molluscum contagiousum as a child can i pass it to someone later on in life? Or does it become non-contagious after a period?

I had molluscum contagiousum about 4 years ago and now wonder whether I could pass it on to my current boyfriend? I had an STI test recently and the results were completely clean.
ONline it says once the bumps go away they are gone forever unless you are re-infected by someone again. It does NOT remain dormant in you like herpes so you shouldn't be able to pass it to anyone else.

its not an STI! MC is a skin problem and once treated has been cured - i had it when i was 8 and 12 years later have no probs!
