I've been dating this girl for a couple of months now. For some weird reason in the beginning she wouldn't do anything sexual with me. We recently finally made it official. After making it official she told me that the reason why she wasnt doing anything sexual is because she has herpies and didnt know how to tell me. Not only did she withhold important information from me, she assumed that I was shallow and would dump her because of her condition. I'm not sure how to handle this.... do you think its fair to leave her?

FACTS ABOUT GENITAL HERPES:
Transmission is caused by close oral, anal, or genital contact, including intercourse, masturbation, kissing, or any direct skin-to-skin contact which allows for the transfer of bodily fluids.
A person is considered contagious when prodromal symptoms, active sores, and healing lesions are present.
Herpes is potentially contagious when no symptoms are present. That is, a person who has genital herpes is potentially always shedding active virus.
Approximately 1 in 6 members of the general infected population is thought to shed active virus occasionally without symptoms.
Some people do not get typical blister-like sores but harbor active virus in their saliva, vaginal, or penile secretions, and can shed the virus without knowing they have herpes.
Lesions can occur deep inside the vagina where they cannot be seen or felt, but can readily transmit the virus.
An uninfected individual has about a 75% chance of contracting herpes during intimate contact with someone actively shedding virus.
Oral herpes can be transmitted to the genitals, and vice versa. Symptoms are similar.

Its up to you. Just to let you know, you're putting yourself at risk because condoms can't protect you if you have sex with her when she has a break out.
If you do stay with her, she needs to be more open and honest with you so she can keep you safe.

If you like her, stay with her. Just be aware of her condition and take precautions. It is ultimately up to you whether to stay with her of course, but if you like/love her this should not be an issue.

no..she can take medicine, which causes her not to spread it.
