I broke up with my ex because he had an STD

I am putting my story out there just to help others and also get feedback on if I made the right decision. I started a new job and I met someone that I felt I had a connection with and after talking for a little bit he told me that he had to tell me something and he mentioned that he did have an STD. He had something that was permanent and would never go away and that he was taking medication to control it but that it was still contagious. I was really heartbroken and scared when he told me this he mentioned he has only had it for about a year and his life romantically had completely changed obviously. And long story short we ended up dating and obviously sleeping together (which I was very hesitant about because I was fearful for my own sexual health, but we always used a condom and were very careful about skin to skin contact) after dating for about five months things started to get a little bit rocky between us and I did decide to end things not only because of the issues they were having between us but also ultimately because I didn’t feel that it was worth jeopardizing my own sexual health for a lifetime. Whenever we would get into fights I would just think that I could walk away from all of this and not have to worry about getting a disease, or I could stick it out if I really love him and possibly end up with the STD. I felt that I really did love him and that I was willing to take the risk that I did because I really had a connection with him but in the back of my head I was thinking that long term I just couldn’t deal with having that and having to deal with that because it would be very hard.. and especially if I ever wanted to get pregnant naturally how that would happen. Things will also go through my mind like if we didn’t work out and I did end up getting an STD I would and then be screwed in for the rest of my life. And I feel that ultimately I made the right decision by loving myself and protecting myself but at the same time I can’t help but feel bad and that I gave up on someone to quickly because of fear. I did get my annual check up after we had broken up and also got tested for all STD’s and I am completely healthy and STD free. Which I felt very relieved to get that news because I was still fearful that someway I could have gotten it. What do you think about the situation?

UPDATE: We decided to give things another try and after having a long conversation I think this time around will be better. Wish us luck!
