Ok @mr_hopp I ask because my boyfriend of2 years told me he has only gotten one cold sore in his life 

[mr_hopp]

Yep, you're still a carrier of HSV regardless of how many outbreaks you've had. It stays in your body for life. And even if you don't have outbreaks, you can still be contagious via asymptomatic viral shedding: https://herpeslife.com/what-is-herpes-asymptomatic-viral-shedding/

Him & a lot of other associates I know thinks a cold sore is just a cold sore nothing less .. and that’s completely wrong  @mr_hopp

[mr_hopp]

Yes, unfortunately a lot of people believe that due to just plain bad information out there (and our still-puritanical feelings around enjoying sex being dirty and bad). That's why we're here to school 'em. 😉
