Dating with herpes...how do you do it?

You will need to see your/a doctor and discuss your options or you could go to a free clinic that will have all types of information to help you. You will have this for the rest of your life - there is no cure but they do have medication that can prevent outbreaks. For the safety of any partner from spreading this virus, as it is very contagious, you must always use a condom and inform any partner that you have this before engaging in any type of sexual behaviour.
