If you received herpes from a past partner and had unprotected sex with someone else (wo knowing you had hsv), could the new partner have herpes now?

I recently was diagnosed with hsv and my partner says he's clean so if I got it from someone but had unprotected sex with my fiancé now does he have it now too?

It's random but likely.

I have no concrete evidence of what I'm saying but from what I understand, a huge factor has to deal with whether or not the person is having an outbreak. But many other people say that doesn't have to be the case.

There's also cases of couples having sex repeatedly and not ever getting it.

Basically, get tested.

Does this require actual investigation? Can you get STDs from unprotected sex? You get two tries.

Exactly.

Not necessarily but it's always a possibility. It's difficult to diagnose without presenting lesions or whatever, so he should go get some blood work and swabs.

Could be. He needs to get tested.
