you need to know if you have hsv1 or hsv2 genitally. You can have either. what testing did you have done when you were diagnosed?
Your partner has been tested? just because you've never had sex with him, doesn't mean he doesn't already have herpes.

thank you and no he doesnt have it we havent had sex since we've been together. i have genital herpes.
the herpes handbook is a free resource at www.westoverheights.com. I highly recommend that both you and your partner read through it when you get a chance.
Do you have hsv1 or hsv2 genitally? has your partner been tested to know his own status?

Look into generic antivirals to suppress the outbreaks. Both of you should get tested, igg blood tests and might want to repeat in a few months, to determine what strain you're dealing with and who has what.
This is manageable, but it will take some work and communication. Staying healthy in EVERY way possible is the hardest part of the lifestyle change.
Keep in mind, there's no way to tell for sure if you brought something like this into the relationship at this point. Please keep us updated
