whether or not your partner has infected you with genital herpes depends on whether you have always practiced safe sex for one thing. also it may depend on how long you've been sexually intimate with each other. if you've had sex only once or twice and if you used a condom each time your risk of getting genital herpes is lower than if you've had unprotected sex for a long time. but you could have been infected during any one encounter. don't think you're in the clear because you've never seen herpes sores on your partner's genitals or your own. the symptoms of genital herpes are often subtle and easily mistaken for something else like bug bites pimples razor burn or hemorrhoids. what's more the virus can be contagious even when there are no symptoms.
