Is he lying about having herpes?

I guy that I am friends with thinks that I like him. I do but strictly platonically, I would have said something by now if I wanted to be more. Anyway the other day he told me his ex gave him herpes and I just gave him encouraging words. Sometimes it's like he reminds me that we are only friends, I don't know if I'm sending signals that I'm not aware of but I don't know why he doesn't just believe me. Now I'm thinking that he doesn't have herpes that was just a lie to keep me at a distance. But why would he lie, I don't like him like that. Other then this he is a great friend that encourages me. I would lose all respect for him if he was lying about something as serious as that.

    If he lied to you about this, he did, but it's a shitty thing to lie about, in my view. But that's just me.

    If you're not interested in him romantically, you're not. I wouldn't be interested as soon as i heard he has herpes -- but then, over 70% of the population either has herpes or is a carrier.

    meanwhile someone kept asking me out, and i was never interested. Would never be. then he spouts out how he has Heptatis C. Really? Why would i want to date him?

    Seriously a person is not horrible for contracting this disease, however people tend to close up when they have bad experiences. I would believe him since he got checked up if he did or go with him to the doctors. A real relationship is suppossed to be supportive both ways. Anyway, one time someone promised me that he was serious about me, I was the one with the disease and then out of nowhere he just dissappeared. I had tried to call him but apparently, maybe he was just scared once he realized I would give him a chance and that he could probably never do it without a condom with me ever. I mean I don't think it was going to work anyways not because of my illness but moreso because of his drug addiction, I couldn't date a marihuana user and be sensitive about my health issues. I was very devastated that he used me just for pleasure. I really regretted my platonic date with this guy. I gave him a chance and he blew it by exagerrating his feelings. I felt disgusted about the whole thing.
