Would you date someone if you knew they had Herpes?!

Would you date someone if you knew they had Herpes?

I personally have genital herpes and have had it for over 6 years.

I have never had a guy run away screaming or anything after I told them I had the virus (and yes, I told them before we did anything sexual). They were all really nice and really understanding about it, including my current fiance.

I even dated a guy for a little while who also had genital herpes.

If you really care for the person you can usually look past the virus (this doesn't go for everyone though). But, if you can't stand the fact that you might contract the virus from them, then don't date them. It's as simple as that.
