So beginning with your ex..the guy is obviously a jerk! Not trying to be mean here but if thats how he treated you after he contracted it he very well deserved what he got..just saying. Do not let this past experience affect your present. You know it amazes me how the herpes virus is viewed in our society. Truthfully, it really is not that big of a deal! Thankfully w/e I have an outbreak its just one sore and isnt really painful..its literally a coldsore(just down there lol). Now going to your current bf, hepatitis in general is life-threathening whereas herpes is not! Hes honestly lucky that you have stayed with him and should put his foot in his mouth before saying how he'd be mad at both you guys if he caught herpes.
