My bf is okay with my cold sores?

so iv been having cold sores allot way before my first kiss.i hadn't had one lately then all of a sudden one popped up.im currently in a relationship and he noticed it and told me it was okay.that he'd love me either way.he often even tries to kiss me because he says he wants what i have(i don't have a STD by the way) its just awkward to me..i mean he says he doesn't care but i think hes freaked out.what do you think?
