<human>: Hi guys. So I've been dating a great guy for a couple months now. We talked every day for a couple months before we started dating he told me after us taking it very slow for the first month doing nothing but kissing and hanging out, going to shows, drives just talking and going to the gym together etc. That he has herpes and has for approximately two years. I was really taken back and did not see it coming at all. But I can see why he was taking it so slow looking back now. 

 We get along so well. It really surprised me but I started researching it and it doesn't seem all that bad in most cases outside of the social stigma. 

I have been enjoying his company so much, we have talked about taking our relationship slow, but he is someone I could see myself with for the long term. And he says he really likes me as well and would love something long term. I know herpes is common and manageable (he told me he's had it for over two years and had one small outbreak and that's it) but it is still something I don't want.    

He said he'd start taking meds to reduce my chances of getting it but he hasn't been until now as its been a non issue for him physically. 

I am falling for this guy and he says he understands if I can't go forward in the relationship but the thought of us not together really upsets me. I know it's just basically a skin rash, but stis really scare me still. This guy makes me laugh, excites me so much when I see him. 

Sorry for rambling, but I know it's only been a few months but this guy has his shit together and this is his only flaw (he is very ashamed and I could see him fighting back tears to tell me) but he says he hates that this is something coming between us cause we'd be perfect otherwise.

Can you condense the text into a few key points?
<bot>: Man of my dreams has herpes, I don't want but I do want him. Reddit any experience in this situation??
