Dear Grace, Many thanks for the help and support. You have no idea how much this means to me. A lot of people are suffering in silence over their diagnosis and your answers will really help us. Just for the sake of it, I also contracted covid-19 and only recently recovered. You must imagine my shock when I realised that I got two viruses in the same year 2021. Thankfully my partner and I tested negative for HIV, Gonorrhoea, chamlydia, and syphilis. I just wanted my soulmate to be safe and take precautions if the worst were to come through.

Dear all, I contracted HSV-2 earlier this year. It came as a shock to me as I am Buddhist and always being striving to do good my entire life. I was faithful to the same woman for almost one year now and the pervious time I had sexual intercourse with another woman was back in 2016. It came as a shock to me that after 5 years and finding my soulmate finally that I would contract this virus. Neither of us were aware who had the virus beforehand. I never had any symptoms before so I wouldn't know. But that's besides the point now, both of us are committed to each other and I want the best for both of us. Questions: 1. Do I have to disclose to my boss at work about my HSV-2? 2. Do I have to reduce social interactions for fear of spreading the virus to them? 3. I badly want to kiss my nephew on his cute head and tell him I love him. But I am worried that I might pass him the virus. Is there a cure for this? Feeling lost and despondent. I would appreciate any help and support. Thank you all.
