I'm kinda in a difficult situation. A girl that I've clicked with so well told me that she has Herpes/HSV-2. We did not get intimate yet. I began to read everything there is to know about Herpes 2 and how common it is. 1 in 5 females and 1 in 9 males have it. Would you reject someone you loved over this? Even with condom use, there is no guarantee that you won't get infected because you get it through skin to skin contact. And asymptomatic people can still spread it. She told me that she takes antiviral meds and she rarely has outbreaks. I respect her honesty with me over this issue because I'm sure rejection is the norm when people hear "I have an STD." Has anyone dated someone with Herpes or has this condition and how did you handle it? One side tells me that this condition is not a serious illness like HIV and pretty much it's very common in the adult population, but another side still scares me about getting HSV-2. Worst thing right now is potentially rejecting someone over something like this, when you really like the person, which I don't want to do.
