BigBear57, I am not implying in any way, shape, or form, that this woman may not be wonderful, and I agree that it is very commendable of her to have let him know up front about the fact that she has herpes. But to me that is not the issue; the issue should be for him to really think about whether he wants to take a chance and risk his own health when it comes to a disease for which there is no cure at this time. This would be particularly important if they DO end up in a LTR. Then it will be something he will have to deal w/for the rest of his life or for at least the entire time he is w/her or until that vaccine is readily available. I think he needs to be as informed as possible before he becomes even more attached to her. And if he decides that it is worth the risk, at least let him do so knowing exactly what those risks really are and whether they are important enough to him that he wants to be educated as to what precautions he needs to take to avoid becoming infected himself.
