why haven't I ever had a break out. I just don't understand if I have it why haven't I ever experienced any symptoms. when I went to the doctor all she said was that I have genital herpes but it is inactive. so I asked the doctor do I need any medications to control it. she said no not until you become active or I have an outbreak. I just don't understand why if I have it then she can't tell me when I contracted this disease.
