First off give him credit for telling you. Odds are that the person that gave it to him didn't tell him. There are many ways to prevent transmitting HSV2. Always have protected sex and make sure to abstain when he is having an outbreak. There is also a daily antiviral on the market now called Valtrex. His doctor can prescribe this and it will drastically cut down on the outbreaks. Some people don't have outbreaks often enough to take antivirals. It depends from person to person.
Remember also that it is possible to carry the virus and pass it to other people without knowing you have it. Approximately 33%of the population are carriers and don't even know it. Women can have lesions on their cervix and not know it.
It took alot of guts to tell you that he has this. Some people will just turn and run fast. If you really care about him talk to him, tell him you appreciate him caring about you enough to tell you....remember....he didn't have to.
If you truly care about him this is not a big deal. Again, there are several ways to prevent you from contracting it.
I hope you give him a chance and all works out well!!

Yes, there isn't any. Herpes is caused by a virus. Actually, there is little cure for viruses nowadays. The only thing that you can generally do in the case of a viral infection is strengthen the immune system and hope it fights it off. Not with Herpes, the immune system can't win against it. Thus you only get to treat the symptoms. Once you're infected, it stays with you for life. So don't get infected.
Personal experience. I have had genital herpes for over 5 years.
The #1 Herpes Cure Program?

I am sorry to hear that. The good thing about this is he trusted and respected you enough to tell you. The bad thing is if you have slept with him, why didn't he tell you sooner. I am sure at first you were very mad at him,but it did take a lot of balls to tell you. If you really like him then there are ways around getting it. Your first step is to go to the doctor and get yourself tested, next talk to him about this and thank him for respecting you and trusting you. It's not like he got it and gave it to you (if you even have it) on purpose. I have friends who have genital herpes and they were in the same situation but they worked through it and were understanding with each others feelings. I hope everything works out and that I was some kind of help to you.

I assume you have had unprotected sex? If so I would tell him no more unprotected sex. I might even break up with him for not being honest and exposing you to an incurable disease. Then you should go get tested, a blood test. If nothing shows up, don't think you are out of the woods. It takes approximately 6 months for antibodies to show up in your blood. So this means you have to behave as though you have it and inform everyone you are intimate with. If after 6 months and you are still testing clean.. use protection always..you have been really lucky!

Well I would know that he trusted me enough now and want to make the relationship more serious. Meaning that he is having stronger feeling for you! This is not a bad thing to have herpes YOU make sure to use protection! And also don't not go down on him with out him having on a condom. Good luck!

have you slept with him?? Because that would be totally wrong of him to withhold that info from you. If you have not slept together yet, then I commend him for being honest, think long and hard about how important this relationship is to you and maybe speak to a doctor or do some research about this disease and then decide if this is something you can deal with or not. good luck.

Depending if you had already slept with him. If you have then I would ditch him b/c he should of told you in the beginning and is a jerk for not telling you. If you havent then I would talk about things and def take things slow for a while till you see if this is something you want to invest time in or not.

Did he just find out, or did he know all along? If he knew all along, I'd say dump him- even if he claims he was "afraid" to tell you because he cares about you- how can you trust him? But, if he just recently found out, I'd MAYBE cut him some slack depending upon his honesty in other areas.
