I Got Infected With The Herpes From A 71 Year

I got infected with the herpes from a 71 year old single man, I am 65. I had not been with anyone since before my husbands passing. Now I feel like dating is over for me. The man would not admit to anything but said he was sorry this happened to me He acted like it was no big deal I spent hundreds of dollars on dr visits and meds. It was only on my lips and I took acliyvior. What do you recommend if I was to have intimacy again.
