Okay, I like this guy and I told him that I want honesty in a relationship and if he cannot be honest with me that there's no point of going it forward. He likes me a lot and he told me okay, I have herpes and I got it when I was on my 20's. What would you do? Would run or would you be understanding?

That is a hard decision because... herpers is uncurable, they can go into recession. I would not run and of course I would understand. I would get medical advice before any kind of intimate encounter arises.

I personally would not take the risk, with a person known to have it.

Thank him for being honest with you, so you can make an informed decision.

I'm gearing towards not going forward. But I do not know when to tell him and if he will be understanding.

I would not wait to long to tell him, you don't want him to get his hopes up. If he is the guy you say he is he will understand. Good Luck to you. flowerforyou

First seek to understand. If you really like the man you owe it to yourself to learn all you can about herpes. It'd true that there is no cure. However, itt also won't kill you or rt your brain like many other STDs. There is now a vaccine for one type of herpes.

Lastly, do you ever get cold sores? If so you likely already have herpes yourself. It's really very common. But, most people don't know they have it.
