Hi! I'm a 41yo woman in the Portland, Oregon, area and would love a kick-ass, positive female buddy in her 30s or 40s in this area, maybe someone who's outdoorsy and athletic and social like I am. :) I was diagnosed with HSV2 a year and a half ago, and my first post-diagnosis relationship just ended. I'm struggling with a) the loss of the relationship with the first man I disclosed to and was understandably thus very attached to; and b) gearing up to get back into the dating world and thinking about having the disclosure conversation again. Thanks!
