I actually dodged the herpes 1 virus for most of my life until the last decade. Never got a cold sore, ever, until I was first infected in my 40’s.

It doesn’t even required direct contact. You can get it from shared eating utensils.

and i forgot to mention- it can be passed on when people never even have any symptoms- they are unaware that they have it- nasty little virus-

You could have been infected as a teen. The virus can stay dormant for decades and often pops up decades later when your auto immune system is weakened.
