[Newly diagnosed]

Hi,

from personal experience, I can tell you that not everyone will reject you. I’ve found that when I am honest and talk about my virus up front, people have been understanding. Yes, there were rejections but I just see it as someone I wasn’t suppose to know and move on. 

It’s still frustrating, depressing and angering at times but I try to concentrate on being healthy, keeping my immune system well and getting comfort from those who love me. 

Keep your head up. 🙂

It’s normal to feel all those feelings but don’t let it big you down. More people have it than we realize and a lot of people who do have it don’t disclose it. They should. Keep your head up.

If your sores are healed, then you just have a lower risk of passing the virus. You never never really know in between if you’re shedding, so protection is always best.
