Maybe it will help if you also know what it really is , then I will tell you how to handle it:
Genital herpes is caused by infection with the herpes simplex virus (HSV). Most cases of genital herpes are due to HSV type 2. Some cases, however, result from genital infections with HSV type 1, a common cause of cold sores. Genital herpes causes recurrent outbreaks of painful sores on the genitals, although the disease often remains dormant with no symptoms for long periods. In the United States, one in five individuals over the age of 12 is infected with HSV type 2, and the vast majority of those infected—about 90 percent—do not know they have the disease. Blood tests can detect HSV infection, even if a person has no symptoms. The symptoms of HSV can be treated with antiviral drugs, such as acyclovir, but HSV cannot be eradicated from the body—it is incurable.
Tell him it could be worse as this is the forerunner of AIDS. He should use a condom always.

I got diagnosed with herpes (type 2) about seven years back, when I was still in college and had a silly one-night stand. I realize a lot of girls will declare this, but I swear I had certainly not done that sort of thing before. I just made a mistake that one time and suddenly I felt like I was going to have to live with the implications for my entire life. The hardest part was feeling I could never date men again. After all, who wants to go out with someone that has sores round her private parts? But since a friend shared this movie https://tr.im/2cgKi everything improved.
Not only was I able to clear away all remnants of the herpes virus from my body in less than 3 weeks, but I was also able to start dating again. I even met the man of my dreams and I'm so lucky to write that just last week, in front of everyone in a crowded restaurant, he got down on one knee and proposed to me!! This method provided me the opportunity to be happy and experience true love. Now I want to help you too by sharing this with the World.

kellybug is right...DON'T talk about it unless he brings it up, then mainly let him do the talking. be honest about it but remember that it's still a s-e-n-s-i-t-i-v-e topic so the best thing you can do for support is stay his friend and forget about it if he's healthy and treating it.
