dating some with herpes

i`m recently dating this guy who has genital herpes. i really like him, but i`m so scared to take that risk. i dont know what i`d do if i ever got infected. we had sex the other night, and we always use a condom, but it was really risky because he had a minor outbreak, and the condom came off while he was inside of me. the sore didnt burst, but im more than sure it touched my insides. and now i`m more than terrified, i dont know what to do. it`s really stressing me out and i feel like crying. i feel like if i ever get infected with him, that i`d have to stay with him forever. someone please help me cope with this, i dont know anyone who i can confide in that wouldnt judge me nor him or tell the whole world. ive never had to deal with this, and at first i thought it`d be easy, but it`s harder than i thought...i really dont know how to take this in.

I'm going to be completely honest with you - you should NEVER have sex with your partner when he has an active herpes recurrence - even with a condom. he's actively shedding the virus from areas that a condom doesn't cover and it puts you at high risk of contracting hsv2 from him.  

so what do you do now? well , nothing you can do but wait and see. Should you develop any symptoms of genital herpes, be seen promptly for proper testing and medication.

is your bf on daily suppressive therapy?  have you ever been tested before for herpes to know your status?
