My ex gave me herpes. do i need to tell my new boyfriend?

Yes : The herpes virus can be passed on if it is in the active state. I would definitely tell your new boyfriend. Ask your doctor for informative brochues that you can read with your boyfriend when you tell him this news or your doctor would be happy to meet with you together. Couples can still have a long full relationship when one partner has the herpes virus...Just be educated.
