Towards the OP, I think it says a lot that he told her before having sexual intercourse.
This is the huge and why she is having trouble with this. He is a stand up guy and you have to respect that because most guys aren't. I know its common but knowing that you will walk into a situation where you will likely contract genital herpes is not an easy thing to accept. If she will go on to marry the guy then fine but although he has great potential, it has only been a month of dating so you don't know how this will turn out.

Thank goodness I'm married btw!
Send her the link I posted. I looked it up and it was the second or third from the top.
Who knows how it will turn out, true. I would have to go back to be certain but I think it said the potential for spreading it when there is no outbreak is around 4%.

That's interesting. Still a bit scary but less so. Thanks.
Interesting situation came up with one my girlfriends lately. A guy she has been dating for about a month now told her that he had the herpes virus. He said telling her was the right thing to do because they've started to get hot and heavy and were moving to the next level. I've met the guy. He is smart, handsome, fun, well educated lawyer who is looking to for a serious long-term relationship. He comes from a good family (I know his sister) and he will make a great husband. I don't know what to tell my girlfriend. They are both 30 years old and I know she think's he can be the one. I couldn't tell her to run but to think about it. But I just don't know what to say? Any ideas?
Tell her to keep it in perspective. It's a skin condition. It's not a death sentence. A daily dose of an antiviral like Valtrex cuts the risk of transmission down to like 2%. He can get that from his doctor. If they stay together, they will encounter bigger obstacles in life than this - how they (she) handles this situation will show how they'll hander bigger problems.
