those of you with HSV but your SO does not

I told my boyfriend  about me having HSV 1 and he is very afraid of getting it, he actually  threw his drink away after I drank off it.

I told him I've had this for around 12 years and only passed it on to one person. Can anyone share their stories about having it and your SO not?

I am a male in a relationship with a woman who has HSV 1 and 2. I do not have either. We love each other but it put quite a damper on our relationship in terms of physical intimacy. I don't know what to do about it, I really don't want to get it, but I also love her.
