If you can, take the antiviral drugs. There is some evidence that, in addition to preventing outbreaks, they can prevent viral shedding when you're not having an active outbreak, and therefore reduce chances of spreading it.
This is probably small consolation, but since about 1 in 5 people has genital herpes (though most of them don't know it), chances are you're likely to run into someone who's already contaminated and will understand. That said, having contracted one STD should make you doubly careful about keeping your willie wrapped to keep you from getting another one. Or spreading this one.
