Condoms CAN prevent the STD but it is hit or miss. Sometimes it can still go through the condom. Would the best approach to remain abstinent or to just say f.ck it and have sex knowing that I will ultimately get an STD. There is no cure for herpes at this time.

I know that relationships are not all about sex but showing physical affection for each other is definitely an important
aspect especially if you sleep in the same bed.

Remaining abstinent while "waiting for a cure" seems unreasonable.

Abstinence while waiting for a cure would probably be tough. I dont know if it's pertinent/rude to ask or not, but I'd repeat the question - is she happy with you risking infection?

She said it is my choice but that she would be with me regardless of sex or not.

My problem is I want sex and I know she does too. It is hard to resist the urge especially because I know I am at the age when my sex drive is at its strongest.
