If you were diagnosed years ago but have never had an outbreak, I recommend obtaining a confirmatory test. HSV 2 doesn’t normally behave in that way. This could be a false positive. If you take daily antiviral medication and don’t use a condom and have no symptoms for at least 15 years, I think transmission is highly unlikely. I know that condoms are more challenging as we age.
