Dating someone with herpes

Vi

So I’ve been seeing this man and he told me he had tested positive for herpes and it surprised me. I’ve never been with anyone who had anything like that to worry about. I’m not turned off about it but I’m a little worried. He said he’s taking the meds and he’s okay but what do I do when we wanna do it. Do I just make sure he has a condom and then that’s it ??!

You can get herpes even if the person doesn’t have sores or lesions. PLEASE do some research online rather than looking for answers in comments, for your own health and safety.

But to me that’s not a reason to chance it just really the reason I wouldn’t sleep around with strangers

You can also get it with condoms as usually the sores can be in different spots the condom doesn’t protect.. personally I wouldn’t go for it unless I really thought I might be with that person forever 1 in every 4 have herpes tho in the US anyways

And I would recommend talking to your doctor/nurse if possible on ways to protect yourself.

Make him get tested again before you guys do the dirty. If he drank alcohol while taking his meds, they will stop working. Therefore, he may have never gotten rid of it in the first place. Look out for yourself first, and if you guys aren’t serious and he doesn’t understand why you want to wait for him to be tested again..... well.Boy bye!👋🏼🤪

There is no cure for this. Meds help suppress the break outs. But yes alcohol with a lot of meds counter acts.
