what's the worst case scenario - you're with her, you contract it, you break up.

So maybe for the rest of your life you are a little itchy a couple times a year, or quite often, you get a few outbreaks and then spend the rest of your life symptom free.

Herpes prevalence is estimated at between 10-25% of all sexually active people between the ages of 15-25 (only about 10% know it) so it's really not all that uncommon and really not all that big of a deal.
