Best Answer

Herpes is a std that can lie dormant for many many years. You can't see if someone has herpes unless they have an outbreak.

STDs do not always cause symptoms right away and this can make it difficult to diagnose someone with a sexually transmitted disease as well as make it difficult for someone to know they have it. Many people also do not want to admit to their physician that they engaged in high-risk behavior such as unprotected sex and this can also make the diagnosis of a sexually transmitted disease more difficult to make.
