So my ex boyfriend that i had been on and off with for 5 years cheated on me and I recently found out that he gave me genital herpes. I have since moved on and Im dating someone new. He knows I have herpes and is worried that if he continues to be with me that he will get herpes also. I understand his point of view but it makes me feel like people see me as the disease and not as a person that has the disease. Im taking antiviral medication now. What are the chances he will contract it also? Any ideas on how we can make this relationship work with out the constant herpes topic coming up in our conversation everyday? I need some help..
