Hi there, Does anyone have advice for people considering starting a relationship with somebody with Herpes?

Question: I am having a difficult time getting comfortable with the fact that my girlfriend has HSV I and II(and I do not). I am afraid, knowing that if I choose to stay in this relationship, I will eventually end up getting it as well.and there is no way to know how my body will react to the virus'. Right now I am viewing the virus as a magnifying glass that makes small concerns seem like larger ones, because it is a huge commitment just to try to see if the relationship will be successful. The relationship would already have more than normal amounts of stressors because of geographical issues(I'd have to move a long distance to be with her) and other reasons. We have been doing the long-distance dating which is great, but distance makes the heart grow fonder as well. I feel like a very bad person for having these feelings, but I'm trying to get a grasp on things, so please help if you have any insights.

Answers:
being educated on these things is best.. and knowing the risks. If she was dis-abled would you feel differantly? feelings that are from the true heart can over come any ostacle. never feel bad about weighing out things that can effect the rest of your life.. always good to reach out to get knowledge..

Other Answers:
I would be thankful that she told you, and I would also move on. Long distance relationships are tough, but then so can be live in ones; "you don't know a person till you live with them." You need to think about YOUR future and how you will cope if it does not work with her and you caught the virus, not to mention like you said, how it might effect you.
