This is where swingers are poorly informed and in some denial. HSV-2 infects about 25% of all adults. It is likely a higher percentage in swingers. HSV-1 infects close to 60% of adults. Taken together herpes is the rule among adults, not the exception. That you haven't had an outbreak in years suggests your body has sequestered the virus and you are not infectious. Sure there is always a theoretical possibility of you being infectious, but a very small one. We've met more than one couple with cold sores visible and obviously infectious. No one should play when sores are present. The question of whether to announce your dormant infection is not an easy one. Most of the people you will play with have either HSV-1 or 2. Most of them don't know it. So should you be the one to announce you have it when most people do also? Only you can decide.
