Hello welcome to HCM
herpes could be a primary infection or it could be re-activation of previous viral infection in past, most commonly childhood chicken pox. So its not necessary tat some one is hiding or cheating.just take proper medications, use condom and consult proper gynaecologist so tat there should not be active infection during labour, otherwise caesarean section is an option.
hope information ll help
thanks
