What Causes Genital Herpes?

I am 70 yrs. old. My husband left me for a lover. I asked my Dr. To test me for any sexual transmitted disease and the test was POSITIVE for genital heroes. I was totally faithful to my husband. I have never had any sores or gynological problems of any kind whatsoever. I was tested twice and both came back positive. I am beside myself! Help!

Genital herpes is transmitted through sexual Intercourse.
