get the facts. and i am sure there are plenty of them here on webmd. to be honest i'm sure you've already had sex with someone who had genital herpes before you just didn't know it. this virus is much more common then you think. that said think of how hard it must have been for your girl to tell you. she could have stayed silent. she likes you enough to tell you the truth so if you do break up with her make sure you do it with respect. also always use a condom and don't have sex when she has an outbreak.
my girlfriend has genital herpes but i love her to pieces for who she is. should i stop dating her because of this? . my girlfriend of 2 months recently told me that she has genital herpes. i didn't react badly i tried to support her and tell her that i won't cut her out of my life because of it however i'm stuck on what i should now do. i love her to pieces for who she is not what she has. i want to be able to be with her but i've been worrying a lot about how much we can do with one another before risk of catching it comes in. i have no intentions of catching it but i have every intention being with her.
