Question: Can the genital herpes virus remain dormant for more than 30 years!?
My wife and I have been married for 32 years; I am 58, she is 56!. I have been completely faithful during the 32 years and she says she has as well!. I want to believe her and there is no reason why I should not!.!. Unfortunately, our relationship has been dealt a serious blow; she recently developed genital herpes!. She claims it is impossible because she has never been sexual with another man!. Could there be another explanation!? She has been such a trustworthy and honorable person during our time together!.

I would be much more willing to trust my wife than people on yahoo!. i do believe that you can have it for many, many years and not show symptoms!. if you ever have cold sores, you can transmit them to her genitally!. trust your intuition!. if you have no reason to doubt her, why would you!? herpes is hard enough without your spouse doubting you!. good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
herpes can lie dormant for long periods of time but i doubt that it can lie dormant for that long!. herpes usually shows up a month or so after being with a person who has herpes, but some times it can take longer to show symptoms!. if she has had sex with no other man, not even oral sex then sorry but, there is a strong possibility that she could have gotten this from u!. genital herpes is usually passed during sexual activity!. also symptoms can be so mild that u don't even realize u have herpes!. u should get tested for herpes just to make sure if this did or didn't come from u!.
i'm sure i got herpes from my boy friend since he was the only one i have been with for the last 3 years!. we are committed to each other and living together!. when i got an out break he got tested and turns out that he has herpes too!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I've never known it to be dormant for that many years!. I would like to think she's been misdiagnosed!. You've asked the question here, why not call the doctor and get the professional answer you need!. You can also check out website's where research has been done to find out about genital herpes!. Good luck with your marriage and make an appointment to have yourself checked when you call the doc!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
yes i believe that, I worked for a gynecologist for about 10 year before!. we had a patient that came into our office for a problem that turned out to be herpes!. she had been married for around 15 years and was sure there was no cheating from either partner!. the doctor told her that the infection could have been dormant for many years and there was no way to pin point the initial time she got it!. its a virus just like HIV and it is also capable of laying dormant for many years!.
if you believe her and your marriage has been honorable, why question it!. 32 yrs is surely something to be proud of and not worth losing now!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

its possible but VERY VERY SLIM!!!!
I would seriously do some questioning!.
I do know it can lay dormat for really long time, you can carry it and NEVER show any signs, or they can be internal so you aren;t even aware you have it until it magically one morning TA DA!!
So question your wife, and question your doc, alot of times they leave scars (like acne) only on your insides, a gyno could tell this most often!. However, be open with your wife, and love her and yourself through it!. 32 years is long time to throw out the window over something that could have happened long ago!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Although uncommon nothing is impossible!. Although rare it is possible to get if someone used a restroom with an open wound and then she sat on that blood right after!. But that is very rare!. If it were me I would be looking at infidelity also but definitely take her in with you and consult a doctor on these questions!! Are you sure it is herpes and not like acne from ingrown hairs from shaving!?!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
I think you should trust her!. Did you know that 1 and 5 people have it, but about 90 percent do not know that they have it!. It is very possible for it to stay dormant for that amount of time!. That is the reason that it keeps spreading!. That is why the doctors say it is sometimes hard to figure out who you got it from!. IT CAN STAY DORMANT!.!.!. FOREVER!. Is it possible that your wife has been under a lot of stress or sick!? If so, then that could be the reason why she all of a sudden had an outbreak!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
I do not know the answer but my advice is to not consult the people at Yahoo answers about something so serious!. Consult a doctor about the potential ways she could have contracted the virus!. If it appears fishy, you'll likely next consult a marriage counselor!. Best of luck to youWww@Answer-Health@Com
