Does every individual exposed to HSV-2 experience a primary outbreak?

I got it from my current BF who didn't even know he had it until I got tested after I started breaking out. He has never had any kind of symptoms whatsoever. Who knows how long he has had it!

Why is that some have obvious signs and symptoms and other don't? Does it have to to with our individual immune systems?

Jazz, was your boyfriend tested for it?

He tested after my results came back. He is positive too, he just never had a reason to think he was. He was tested 2 years before with a negative result. I tested with a negative result 6 months before I had a positive result.
