Some people have it, but some people have it worse. Some people get it and build an immune response quickly, limiting the spread it seems. Others don't and the virus seems to take a stronger foothold.
My wife has oral HSV. I don't. We're not careful and we've been together for years with many breakouts. I don't think I've avoided it because I'm magically immune. My guess is that I have it, but I managed to limit it to the degree that I never get a breakout.
Now that I think about it, my wife hasn't had a breakout in two years, pretty much since getting pregnant. Weird.
