Hi, im new to hsv and this site, and quite literally just sent another person this same msg, but maybe it will help u?
I literally just came home from a bar, (which i never go to clubs...) but anywho, i didnt drink tonight, met a super nice dude, and on our drive back home our convo got super personal.
we only kissed... but then he told me he wanted to see me again...
i ended up telling him i was tested positive for hsv2 and im in no way ready to be intimate with anyone in the near future, he wasnt scared, he accepted my bravery, and asked to see ne again this weekend .. no bar this next time.. i said yes..
ive only been diagnosed jan 3rd, but this site helped me to be brave.
try to remove the stigma... u are worth everything.
its just, if hes still responding, and all, u shouldn't feel regret telling him.
Or any embarrassment, i do understand what ur going through, but seriously... he obviously doesnt mind!
think of it as a zit!... the embarrassment goes away after a couple days right????
