  1. I recently disclosed to a guy I have been seeing. I told him I wanted to wait to have sex. He agreed and said he wanted to wait as well. I started to become very anxious and depressed because I convinced myself that he was going to say he didn't want to date me anymore because of herpes. I convinced myself that I would be alone forever. I knew I had to tell him soon because the wait was killing me and making me so unhappy. It was really hard at first but I made sure to show him the handout explaining how low his risk was of contracting it. He didn't know much about it so I kept on saying that it was okay for him to be unsure and research it more but I made sure to say that he should go to this website and not the scary ones. He kept on assuring me that he didn't care and that he really liked me anyway and that he was so sorry this happened to me. It turns out that he had some baggage too around sex and was afraid I was going to dump him! We were both so relieved that we accepted each other. I couldn't stop smiling. This was about two months ago and we are still dating. I never thought I could be as happy as I feel right now. In my darkest time if someone had predicted the future and told me I would have never believed them. We accept the love we think we deserve.
  2. @WCSDancer2010 Thanks so much! I've had doctors tell me that there is no difference so I was getting discouraged. Hopefully it goes well :)
  3. Hi all. This is my first time posting on this site even though I read through so many discussions which have helped me deal with the shock of having herpes. I was diagnosed exactly a year ago with HSV1 genitally, but it feels like it was yesterday. I just started dating this guy at college. He asked me officially to be his girlfriend and I was so happy but so sad at the same time. I feel like he doesn't deserve me and I am terrified to have the talk because I don't want to lose him. Fortunately he hasn't been pressuring me to rush things but I still feel like I am lying to him everyday. I know I should tell him soon. Any suggestions?
  4. I am in need of a buddy who can offer support! I was diagnosed about 7 months ago. I'm a college aged female going to school in the Baltimore area
