Thank you everyone! I like the idea of me being tested to see if I have antibodies against the Herpes 2 virus. I have tried to educate myself as much as I can on this. I know that getting Herpes is not a death sentence or as serious as HIV, it is merely an annoying little disease. However there are different reaction levels for people and with my luck I would be one who had horrendous outbreaks.
Right now I feel like having sex would be a little like playing Russian Roulette, and although there is a low chance of catching it, 4% - that still is a very real possibility.
Of course to complicate things is the fact that I do really care for her. If I didn't I would even be posting this stuff online - I would have simply told her that it was a dealbreaker for me and that I was sorry we didn't work out. Thanks again for the advice. I need to make a decision on this and the sooner the better.
