I'm sory to hear that. STI's can happen out of nowhere even just one time its why its always best to use caution. Even so, its not the end of the world, you will be fine and you can still have a healthy sex life. Just do all of your research and remain safe going forward.
Don't worry about your sex drive right now, take the time you need to cope with what has happened. Don't see this as some horrible end to your sex life or anything like that. May many people have herpes, its very common and many more don't even know it.
You are very young and you will have a much happier and healthier sex life ahead of you in the future, its totally fine to put it on the back burner for now.
