Would you enter a relationship with someone with genital herpes?

Edit: Oh geez. I guess I might’ve just gotten worked up on just the stigma. Hell, I wonder if I gave it to her now. I’ve slept around way more than her.
Edit 2: I cut out the whole long story because I’m a bit embarrassed to have overthought it so much and I guess it’s not really relevant. I’ll leave the post up so maybe other anxious people can see the responses.
The spark notes version is: I loved a girl and let her go and when she came back, she and I worried about her having herpes.
It’s ridiculous that we don’t have a cure or at least a vaccine for Herpes at this point. Some scientists believe it’s a major contributor to Alzheimer’s.

I wanted to date a girl that had it in college so I just talked to her about it, come to find out it's not that big of a deal.

I've you have ever made out with someone, you are already likely a carrier even if you aren't showing symptoms of any sort. It's actually on the rarer side for there to be active sores.

Not the genital one
It's been a long time since I read about this, but aren't they really just the same thing in different places?

Then you have someone give their partner head and no one can tell which kind of herpes they have without tests, because as far as I know they supposedly present the same.
Well unless it starts showing itself downstairs

I mean, it infects your nerve cells. That's a tricky place for medicine for obvious reasons.

Both kinds can infect anywhere on the body, they just each have a zonal preference.

Right but only 13% have it down in that zone.

No, only 13% have the kind that specializes in your genitals. Where they have it and the other kind is not a part of the static. (However it's pretty likely the numbers sort of self-balance and it ends up that about 13% of people have one of the herpes virus on/near their junk.)

You see that is rather pertinent information.
Why? We were talking about STDs, that's the only thing my comment aims at. Plenty of ways to ensure no pregnancy happens.
