Thank you Grace for your kind words.

I am sorry you are feeling this way after being vulnerable and sharing your status with him. it really sucks! I know, I have been rejected now a couple of times after sharing my status. Maybe it’s not rejection, but protection. Early on you have learned that this man is not a good match for you. If he can’t handle this information, how will he handle things more serious in the future? you have to remember that you are a beautiful person, having herpes doesn’t change that about you. Maybe this experience has protected you from getting your heart broken by being with the right person. Just want you to know that I feel you and I’m sorry for what you are going through. Many blessings.

Hi, I am new to the community! So grateful that it exists. I’m also new to disclosing I have the virus that causes herpes. I was recently intimate with the new guy I was dating. We didn’t use protection, the next day I went to get checked and everything came back negative. I shared with him the results as well as that in 2020 I was dx with HSV2, currently taking antivirals and haven’t had any outbreaks. he told me that he needs time. It’s alot for him to process. what makes me sad is that there is so much misinformation, I wish he would share with me his concerns so I can guide to the right resources so he can make an educated decision. I also feel sad because I really liked him. I guess what I’m learning is that having herpes is a deal breaker for some men. anyway, if anyone can offer me some supportive words I would really appreciate that. Thank you Laura
