It's possible trust me! I have had genital herpes for over 5 years!
I'm currently in a great relationship with my fiance. We are completely happy with each other (and not to mention have a great sex life!) When I told him I had genital herpes he was concerned but in a good way. He wanted to know everything he could about it. He was really supportive and nice about it.
Even though the outbreaks are annoying and painful they only last a few weeks. When you are not on an outbreak you have no symptoms or signs of the virus and are fine living an every day normal life. Honestly, unless I am having an outbreak or hear a commercial about it, I never think about it. It's in the back of my mind. It's probably coming to you right now as a shock and you are probably disappointed (that's how I was in the beginning), but it's really not that bad. Millions of people have genital herpes and live a completely happy life in a great relationship!

Some of the things these people said was very rude and insincere. Let me tell you, you will definately find future relationships. Many people have STD's and many people have herpes to say the least. Let me give a suggestion of how to go about future relationships. It is honest and not unfair. Always remember though you need to tell who ever you are with that you have that before you two do anything sexual, unless of course we are talking kissing. My suggestion is take your future relationships slow. Set standards and boundaries and let your partner know them, without telling them you have herpes first. I mean you don't want to spring that on someone when you first meet them, and you shouldn't be having sex so quickly either. I suggest you take your time and when you feel you two are ready, hopefully you two are close enough, or very close at that point that when you tell them hopefully they care enough about you that they stick with you! Good Luck though!

Please don't think that you are never going to have a great relationship with some one just because you have herpes. Many many many people (over 25% of the US population) have herpes and many of them have had wonderful relationships and have gotten married, had kids...etc.
Having herpes just means that you have to take your medicine, ALWAYS use a condom, and that BEFORE you even think of having sex with anyone you MUST tell them you have herpes. YOU must have that talk with them because if by chance the condom breaks anything happends and they get herpes you DON'T WANT that in your conscious.
Having herpes just means that you are going to have to take your relationships slowly. You know make sure the both of you are in love. Make sure he or she is worth it. Make sure they can handle it....
Everything is going to be just fine, just take things slowly, always have that little talk, and always always USE A CONDOM!!!!!

It is estimated that fully a fourth of the population of the US have herpes. It is common and it is growing. I've even seen individuals infected, looking for like individuals in personal ads. Life isn't over, you just need to be more circumspect about who you go out with, and have protected sex.

Having hepres doesnt mean you wont have a new relationship. Of course you should tell your potential partners about this, but not at the outset of your relationship. Take precautions to protect yourself and your partner, but remember that you are more than the illness. You deserve to be loved and respected, not degraded on the basis of your condition. Good luck to you

That "Mr. Curious" guy who gave you the rude comment is a *****! He need not be so certain that just because he's had the same boring lay for the last 26 years that one day a dormant form of herpes could spring up and attack his little "Rumple Foreskin".

Well, you will have to simply lower your standards now when looking for a date/husband. You will have to look for people with low morals like yourself so that their diseases will feel comfortable with your diseases.
Hmmmm....now you know why some of us have chosen to live morally clean lives. I have NO chance of ever contracting something like you have.
