recently discovered that I have herpes. Whether its one or two, I don't know, still awaiting results. Where I got it? Also a mystery that hopefully the blood test will provide some answers.
So for the most part, I'm handling it fine. I know its really not that big of a deal in the long run. The problem for me, a 21 year old Male in college, I'm just trying to enjoy my last year here. I don't have a problem telling people in the future that I plan to date, but here, it is a different story. It's social suicide. If I was to tell one girl before hand here, it would spread like wildfire regardless if she understood or not. Even when I go back home, I'm still going to see everyone I went to highschool with in the summertime. Things will get physical.
Obviously the moral thing to do is to literally disclose everytime, but I feel like the situation I am in requires a little bit more strategy and careful thinking. Disclosing every. single. time. I personally feel only applies to future dating partners.
I feel like most people on here are way over the age of 21, not in college still, and not having sex with multiple partners. Just judging from the posts I read.
I really don't care if it sounds selfish, but I'm not about to let this virus strangle my prime years. Of course, I'm not going to be blatantly fucking without a care in the world, otherwise the guilt would eat me alive. But All I'm saying is there must be a middle ground for this, for my situation specifically.
