yes some people carry the virus and don't even know until the first outbreak but when the outbreak occurs you'll know for sure its nothing like a cold sore. i get cold sores btw they are not herpes technically but my father has herpes and his sores are painful big blisters not just on the mouth but genitals too. if you do have the virus it will usually show during great times of stress. that's how my dads works anyways. hope i helped!
could i have genital herpes and not know?
