After disclosure , I would like to share some of my feelings.
I have been diagnosed since 2016
It has been 2 years and I haven’t experienced any outbreaks.
The biggest change in my life is I don’t have (or I refused to )sex anymore since I got Genital HSV2.
I don’t want anyone to suffer from what I am suffering. Also no sex means I don’t need to disclose my status.
However, my ex sex partner ( not the one who infected me )came back to me recently and we haven’t contact for 2 years. He contacted me for casual sex as we did before. He kept pushing me to have sex with him and I kept finding excuses.
Two days ago we met for drinks and we kissed we touched but I didn’t allow him to get inside me. And he texted me today and kept asking me why I am not having sex with him. Or did I lost interest in him already.
He was pushing me so hard I can’t help but to disclose him my status.
All I want is to protect him from this disease.
I cannot put him at the risk even I am on daily suppressive Valaciclovir and we use condoms every time.
I told him I had Herpes and surprisingly he didn’t block me right away and he kept asking me my health status. I can see he tried to express his caring and thankfulness as I being honest with him.
Although there is no negative reaction from my partner , I feel so relieved that I don’t need to find stupid excuses to reject him. Also, I noticed that sex is already out of my life. Normal guys won’t accept a gal with STD.
Anyone can share their experience on disclosing HSV status to partners?
