Herpes Doctor

I read that you can catch it even with a condom. I was diagnosed with herpes at the beginning of a new relationship. I was upfront with him, we had fallen in love and he chose to stay with me. We became engaged and he contracted the virus. We did not use condoms all the time though! Now, we are going through a painful breakup. I think he is really freaked out about the fact that this didn't work, and now, he has the virus, so........I have to say though that I don't think he or I would have done anything differently. We were madly in love and some people never get to experience that at all. Love is the most important thing and you will have it with or without the virus. I say stay with your girl and love eachother. If you can be respectful and appreciative of one another, it won't matter at all. Society places a giant stigma on the disease. For myself, I have one break out a year and it is very, very mild. For some people it is different. It's your choice, but hope this helps. Just know you may get it.
