Some advantages I have realised about Hsv are:
1. with hsv, you effectively learn to control your emotions
2. with h, you strive to stay as healthy as possible which you wouldn't have done without h. ( and non-healthy life style and carelessness is killing those without h)
3. If you got h through immoral life, u have a better moral life now and more time to think positive and plan better.( That sounds a bit painfuly true, but it is a very positive thing.) You will fully realize that when you are settled with it or when a vaccine comes around.
So in itself, I think it is an opportunity.
