I'm the same! I've had these bumps on my penis for about 2 years, and I am convinced they are genital warts (even though i'm a virgin).
I kinda got over it to the point where it would matter what they were and that I never really wanted to have sex anyway.
Sometimes it's better to be ignorant.
Anyway, herpes doesn't last... Of course it could mean no more sex ever! But from what I hear it's pretty much like warts, most people get one or two outbreaks then it never bothers them again!
I would be really worried about hiv if I were you. Once you get it you are on pills for the rest of your life! Now that's bad!
