Herpes and boyfriend

Hi—I really need help…my boyfriend recently had a physical examination and the doctor told him that it looked like he had genital herpes, but he also had a blood test to confirm whether or not he actually has it but results haven’t come in yet until next monday. I wrote him a letter saying that we seriously need to consider our future together and how it’s going to be if he really has this virus.

I recommended we go see couples counseling or std counseling so that we can know what to expect in the future or what it’s going to be like.

I included in the letter that I didn’t want to get infected and that if we got married I would have an increased risk of getting it and I don’t want to pass it to my children–he talked to me about the letter and he asked me if I wanted to be with him or not and I told him I didn’t want to make any big decision until we 1.) saw an std counselor 2.) had the results come back from his blood test…I am confused and I don’t want to break up with him, but I have to thik about our future together and I DON’T want to be infected–please, please, please help
