Just because you have herpes does not mean that you are unclean or somehow damaged for life. Perhaps you would have chosen to have unprotected sex with him, but the fact that he knew and really didn't care enough about your well being to inform you... to me at least SCREAMS that he's self-centered.

You can control this disease and take the precautions necessary not to spread it. Just remember IF/WHEN you decide to have children to share this info with your OB. It's been a long time since I've taken medical classes, but there are complications that can arise from a vaginal birth if you have an active outbreak, an infection of the baby's eyes ring a bell.

Just remember you're not alone, 50 million American's admit to having this disease, and how many million more either don't know or aren't being honest. Try this website if you're interested in more information.
