Is it permissible to marry a girl infected with genital herpes, knowing that she is a Muslim and religiously and morally committed?

It is permissible to marry a woman afflicted with herpes, and there is no harm in associating with those who have infectious diseases, with the permission of the healthy party. However, it is preferable to avoid marrying those afflicted with such diseases, out of fear of disease transmission, and because the concern for the illness might change after marriage.
