I have a sore that will come and go in same spot every few months. not itchy or anything. I did have sex with someone that claims they have herpes.
I have had sex with that person a dozen times or so over the last few years.

I was recently diseased tested and everything was negative. I also had blood tests for herpes and both were negative.

I have a cold now and my period just ended, also have been under stress lately. I noticed spot the last few days. little sore when touched but it is not a pimple.

If I have sex with same man that has herpes now am I apt to get more spots elsewhere? or now since I probably do have herpes should I just have sex with him, keep doing it and not care because we both have it, or is there a chance I will get more sores from more exposure to him?

I also hope I haven't spread it since you can still spread it when no sore is present.

I think you should get some education about herpes and how it is spread, when it is spread and how to prevent a) getting an outbreak, b) transmitting herpes to someone else and c) protection for yourself.
It is indeed possible that you already have herpes. It is normally spread when the infected person is in the "active" stage and has blisters or sores themselves, although it can be spread prior to any noticable sores. If you have unprotected sex you will be vulnerable to getting it, and to passing it along to other individuals. In a nutshell, talk to a health care provider, get the cold, hard, honest facts and do not have sex unless and until you know whether or not you have it for certain.

Herpes virus: 8 types

The herpes family of viruses includes 8 different viruses that affect human beings. The viruses are known by numbers as human herpes virus 1 through 8 (HHV1 - HHV8).

Human herpes virus 1
Human herpes virus 1 (HHV1) is also known as herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV1). It is typically the cause of cold sores around the mouth. HHV1 can also lead to infection in the genital area causing genital herpes usually through oral-genital contact, such as during oral sex. HHV1 infections are contagious and are usually spread from skin-to-skin contact with an infected person through small breaks in the skin or mucous membrane. The HHV1 virus is more likely to be spread through things like sharing eating utensils, razors, and towels from a person who has an active lesion.

Human herpes virus 2
Human herpes virus 2 (HHV2) is also called herpes simplex virus 2 (HSV2). It typically causes genital herpes, a sexually transmitted infection. However, it can also cause cold sores in the facial area. Like HHV1, the HHV2 infection is contagious and is spread by skin-to-skin contact. The main route of transmission is through sexual contact, as the virus does not survive very long outside the body.

Human herpes virus 3
Human herpes virus 3 (HHV3) is also called varicella-zoster virus. HHV3 causes chickenpox. It can also cause a recurrent virus infection of the skin, which is called herpes zoster or shingles. Shingles occurs when dormant varicella-zoster virus from an initial bout of chickenpox becomes reactivated. Like its close relative, HHV1, herpes zoster likes to infect skin cells and nerve cells. This virus may also recur along nerve fibre pathways, causing multiple sores where nerve fibres end on skin cells. Because an entire group of nerve cells is often affected, shingles is generally much more severe than a recurrence of herpes simplex. The lesions generally appear in a band-like or belt-like pattern occurring on one side of the body and are often accompanied by itching, tingling, or even severe pain. Healing usually occurs in 2 to 4 weeks, and scars may remain. Postherpetic neuralgia is a complication of shingles where the pain associated with the infection can persist for months and even years. Most people who experience shingles once do not experience it again.

Human herpes virus 4
Human herpes virus 4 (HHV4) is also known as the Epstein-Barr virus. It is the major cause of infectious mononucleosis, or "mono" - the "kissing disease." It is a contagious infection and is transmitted through saliva. Coughing, sneezing, or sharing eating utensils with an infected person can pass the virus from one person to another.

Human herpes virus 5
Human herpes virus 5 (HHV5) is the official name of cytomegalovirus (CMV). CMV is also a cause of mononucleosis. In people with healthy immune systems, the virus may not even cause any symptoms. It can be sexually transmitted, can cause problems to newborns, and can cause hepatitis. CMV can be transmitted through sexual contact, breast-feeding, blood transfusions, and organ transplants. CMV infection is one of the most difficult complications of AIDS. It may lead to diarrhea, severe vision problems including blindness, infections of the stomach and intestines, and even death. For a virus that barely causes a problem in most people with healthy immune systems, it can be amazingly nasty in people with damaged immune systems, such as people with AIDS.

Human herpes virus 6
Human herpes virus 6 (HHV6) is a recently observed agent found in the blood cells of a few patients with a variety of diseases. It causes roseola (a viral disease causing high fever and a skin rash in small children) and a variety of other illnesses associated with fever in that age group. This infection accounts for many of the cases of convulsions associated with fever in infancy (febrile seizures).

Human herpes virus 7
Human herpes virus 7 (HHV7) is even more recently observed and is closely related to HHV6. Like other human herpes viruses, HHV6 and HHV7 are so common that most of humankind has been infected at some point, usually early in life. HHV7 can also cause roseola, but it is not clear what other clinical effects that this virus causes.

Human herpes virus 8
Human herpes virus 8 (HHV8) was recently discovered in the tumors called Kaposi's Sarcoma (KS). These tumors are found in people with AIDS and are otherwise very rare. KS forms purplish tumours in the skin and other tissues of some people with AIDS. It is very difficult to treat with medication. HHV8 may also cause other cancers, including certain lymphomas (lymph node cancers) associated with AIDS. The fact that these cancers are caused by a virus may explain why they tend to occur in people with AIDS when their immune systems begin to fail. The discovery also provides new hope that specific treatments for these tumors will be developed that target the virus.

The "Lessor Herpes " is what you may have, you can still have a relationship, Marriage, Children . But be Honest with any prospective Sex Partner.
If you do not have a Partner right now and do have Herpes, there are Dating Sites and Meet ups with people already infected .. So you won't be able to Give it to them or Get it from them . You can Share and Support each other though the " Down Times " .


This Concerns me Greatly

I also hope I haven't spread it since you can still spread it when no sore is present.

I am not Judging you at all, I am questioning that you know you may have Herpes and you are hoping you have not given it to anyone? Do you have sex with many people in a period of time ?
Do you use Condoms with each and every person, so you will Not possibly infect them ?

If Not and you find that you actually Do Not have any of the Herpes Viruses or any other STD, Please take Precautions Every Time .. For Your Sake and Others ..

Take Good Care ..
