...French learning English? If you take all of the proper precautions (ie taking antiviral medication regularly and not having sex when you have an out break, getting to know your symptoms and being honest with your partner) you can help prevent spreading herpes to your partner.
You should know that there is still a chance of passing herpes on even if condoms are used, condoms don't cover all of the skin down there that herpes can affect.
No one will know what telling your partner is going to be like but you, you may want to prepare your self for an adverse reaction. Not every one will be willing to be intimate with some one that has herpes. But there are people out there that would care more about you then getting herpes.
