After having sex with someone I got the herpes outbreak 2 days later but he claimed to be herpes free, is it possible I got it from someone in the past although I used protection with the other person I had sexual intercourse with ?

It is possible to have contracted herpes from a previous sexual partner, even if you used protection during those encounters. Herpes can be transmitted through skin-to-skin contact, including areas not covered by condoms. It's also important to know that some people may not realize they have herpes or may not disclose their status.
If you had unprotected sex with someone who claimed to be free of herpes but later experienced an outbreak yourself, it could indicate a recent transmission from them. However, since the virus can remain dormant in your system for some time before causing symptoms, it's also possible that you previously acquired the infection and are now experiencing an outbreak due to various factors like stress or weakened immune system.
I recommend consulting with a healthcare provider for testing and guidance on managing your condition effectively. They can provide accurate diagnosis and support tailored specifically to your situation.
