I was diagnosed in 2001 and have had two serious long term relationships since plus one one so serious. I have sat all down before we had sex and explained I had the herpes virus and how I got it . Everyone on this discussion board is correct on how much anxiety you get before THE TALK but this time I have even more anxiety. This new guy I met on match, had several dates like 6, awesome guy. Been very open and honest about my life except for the virus. I'm afraid ! In his profile on match he mentioned jokingly, " I don't have any std's, and have a dr Note to prove it" ...I know it was just a comment but that's what sticks out.
We are finally meeting somewhere private , I think dinner at his house, monday. I need help on how to talk about it, please !
I should be a pro having it for so long and been on meds since 2001. No outbreak in about 8 years! I'm 46 and still struggling how I let this happen.
Any and all advice !!!
