I have been with someone for four years and they got herpes.   We have always had unprotected sex, but now that he has herpes; I will not have unprotected sex with him.  He wants to have unprotected sex, but I don't.   He hasn't had any breakouts since his first one.  So Im not sure about how easy it would be to give it to me.   I just don't have enough info to make a decision. any advice would be appreciated. thanks.
