Thanks everyone for all of your thoughtful answers!! We've been together for 5 months, and I've realized that I care about him too much to let this stop us. I appreciate all of your help :)

Hi, I've been with my boyfriend for two months, and he ended up going to the doctor and got a blood test where he was informed something seemed off. They ended up telling him he has HSV1 genital, and he ended up letting me know. He ended up telling me if I don't want to be with him anymore he'll understand. He's feeling absolutely hopeless and miserable right now, and he's someone I've been chasing literally for months trying to get his attention. We haven't slept with each other yet, and I've had a cold sore outbreak once before, so I know it wasn't from me because we don't do anything sexual. I have HSV1 oral I'm trying to learn more about the condition on the genitals. We were planning on saving sex for marriage, but I know he used to have a past. We were planning on not using protection once we are married, but with this information I'm starting to think I may end up with genital herpes as well. I heard it would make pregnancy more difficult, and Possibly spread it to the baby as well. I'm sure he probably got it from someone who had oral herpes that's he got oral sex from, or someone else who had genital herpes. I'm confused and shocked, and curious if anyone has been in a similar situation. I'm really into him, but his condition scares me. It seems like the condition is like oral herpes just on the genitals is it more?
