My doctor said I don't have an ethical obligation to tell my future partner of hsv1? Is that true?

Hi Doctor,
I came out positive for hsv1 and have symptoms came and go. My primaryPrimary amyloidosis
Primary biliary cirrhosis
Primary hyperparathyroidism
Primary insomnia
Primary lymphoma of the brain doctor said, I don't have an ethical obligation to tell my future partner about this because almost 100% of population have it. She said if I have hsv 2 then it's up to me to tell my partner. Is it true that I don't have to tell my future partner about it?
I am confused. Please help.
Right now I am having a tongueTongue tie symptoms fo herpes such as tingling, and tongueTongue tie buds larger than normalNormal saline flush with redness at the edge of my tongueTongue tie. I took AcyclovirAcyclovir
Acyclovir sodium
Acyclovir topical 800 mg for seven days but the symptoms still there. Should I ask for Valtrex?
Hope you have a chance to respond to my questions.
Thanks

The only way to know if this is hsv1 genitally too would be to be seen when you have symptoms and get them cultured and typed for herpes.

I had a blood test done and showed hsv1 antibodies present in my blood. I had oral blister six months ago. Occasionally, I get pimple like bumps one or two on my genital that come and go. Is that a hsv1 in the genital area?

no, not 100% of the population has it. On average 56% has hsv1 in the US. If you are under 30 it's much lower though.
you do need to talk to potential partners about this for if no other reason because it's the "nice" thing to do. Wouldn't you want someone you were dating to tell you about it before you had sex instead of keeping it quiet? I assume this is hsv1 orally you were diagnosed with?
