People who don't have herpes will tell someone it's a big deal. But, I can tell you from having the virus for 6+ years now, it's NOT a big deal.
Herpes is EXTREMELY common. It's estimated about 1 in 4 women have genital herpes, while 1 in 5 men have it. And, about 75 - 80% of the WORLD has cold sores (oral herpes).
I have had genital herpes and HPV for over 6 years and I would pick genital herpes over my HPV ANY day! Of course the outbreaks from genital herpes are painful, irritating, and annoying, but they heal! It also doesn't cause sterility like other STDs can and it's not deadly! I've only had about 5 outbreaks the entire time I have had the virus and most of those were during the first few years. I've been outbreak free now for over 2 years (and that's without taking medication for it). I developed cervical cancer from my HPV when I was 17 years old though and that was one of the most emotional and physically painful times of my life! I wouldn't wish that upon anyone!
I couldn't tell you how any other STDs are because I haven't had them. But, herpes is much better than having a deadly STD like HIV/AIDS. I watched my uncle die from AIDS and it's an AWFUL way to die.
I've dated a few guys over the years and not one of them chose not to date me because I have genital herpes (I even met and dated a guy who also had the virus). None of them ran away screaming or anything, including my current fiance. Of course they were concerned about getting the virus from me but we took every precaution we could and none of them ever got the virus from me except my fiance (boyfriend at the time). I was with one ex for almost 4 years and he never got the virus from me! So, it's definitely possible to not spread the virus. But, if a person has sex with someone who has genital herpes or any other STD there is ALWAYS going to be a chance they can contract it from them.

RE:
Is getting herpes a big deal?
Compared to something like AIDS is obviously not that bad...
People say it's no big deal, everyone gets it...but I'm not sure
What do you think: Does it affect your decision to sleep with someone if they have herpes??? How can I prevent getting it?

Hèrpes is most certainly one of those conditions we all would like to avoid throughout out lifetime. Though, for some, it is an unavoidable circumstance. Just some bad luck I suppose, perhaps even the end result of the ONLY time you forgot or decided against using a condom. As this the case for me =X ... I tried just about every treatment and solution out there, both over-the-counter and prescription. Nothing it seems would work, or render unto me any real results. All I came across was much frustration, and several bad side effects. The worst thing was realizing I would have to continuously apply these treatments for the rest of my natural life.
I did not make any progress with my condition- none, not until I looked into obscure alternative methods. Nàtural remedies. I spent several days and nights pouring through an endless amount of first-hand accounts and other personal experiences with various products and solutions. This is when l foúnd https://herpesrelief.im ... worked like a charm. I wàs able to relieve myself cómpletely of this condition- having 100% control over outbreaks. The bẹst part of all, this was done nàturally- and bumps/warts have not returned. Look, I know how it is. Herpes sucks, and it sucks bad. It leaves you bitter about the one who gave it to you, leaves you feeling insecure about yourself, and frightened you may pass it on to someone else.
I am acutely aware of, and understand dilemma all too well. But worry not, as there are rẹal solutions and options out there. I wish you aII the bẹst of luck, and a speedy recovery!

I tested positive for herpes type 2 about seven years back, when I was still in college and had a stupid one night stand. I am sure many of women will say this but believe me I never did that sort of thing. I jus made mistake that one time and, suddenly, it looked like I was going to have to live with the burden for the rest of my life. The awful part was feeling I could never meet men again. After all, who wants to go out with a girl who has blisters around her you-know-what? But after someone showed me this video https://tr.im/gpW07 everything has changed. Not only was I able to eliminate all traces of the herpes virus from my system in less than three weeks, but I was also able to start dating again. I even met the man of my dreams and I'm so happy to say that just last week, in fornt of many people in a restaurant, he got down on one knee and proposed to me!! This program gave me back the chance to be happy, and to experience true love.

There are two types of herpes simplex virus: HSV-1 and HSV-2. Both virus types can cause sores around the mouth (herpes labialis) and on the genitals (genital herpes). Cold sores are caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV).
Cold sores sometimes called fever blisters, are groups of small blisters on the lip and around the mouth. The skin around the blisters is often red, swollen, and sore. The blisters may break open, leak a clear fluid, and then scab over after a few days. They usually heal in several days to 2 weeks.
The herpes simplex virus usually enters the body through a break in the skin around or inside the mouth. It is usually spread when a person touches a cold sore or touches infected fluid?such as from sharing eating utensils or razors, kissing an infected person, or touching that person's saliva. A parent who has a cold sore often spreads the infection to his or her child in this way. Cold sores can also be spread to other areas of the body.
Luckly there is a cure for herpes https://tr.im/zmuES
