Hey, I've had the herp for almost ten years. Im trying to be more open about it but I think it'd be nice to have a buddy to get advice from for things such as disclosing. I'm in the bay area in California. Feel free to message me. Oh a little about me. I'm a 29 year old male. Pretty laid back. Enjoy the outdoors and playing music.

Thanks. Yeah i'm actually on Hinge and CMB right now and i don't know what happened. The likes just keep rolling in! I've got three first dates coming up lol. I think I'm still a little jarred from my last rejection (only one I've ever had) so I wanted to check out herpes dating sites.

Hey man, I had this happen to me too. It really sucks. I still try to talk to the girl here and there a little bit hoping she'll come around. Probably not the best idea but whatever. Best case scenario she changes her mind, worse case I make a new friend. Then again maybe I just like her too much haha.

Hey Has anyone had any luck with these Herpes dating apps? I've been on it but the people they recommend are all over the place. In a different city if not a different state.

Thank you!!

Hey everyone, So I experienced my first rejection today. I've had two successful disclosures before so this was a bit of a surprise. Although I also guess it's kind of expected. Anyway, I'm bummed of course but overall doing okay. After the rejection we actually had a really good conversation. And it definitely gave me closure. I don't blame her. It's just frustrating because even after addressing all her fears and explaining she is at risk anyway, it's still a no. I'm sure many of you have been in the same boat. But here's the catch. I asked her how she would feel if I kept pursuing her. And she never really gave me a hard no. Said "well I don't want to say it could never happen". Told me I could still hit her up when I'm in her area. I really like this girl and we have such good chemistry it's kind of a shame something as insignificant as herpes can get in the way. So what do I people? Keep chasing or just move on? Help me out lol

Thanks Grace! Yeah i mean, I don't really mind the outbreaks themselves. They're pretty small and more of a nuisance if anything. I've never had any side effects with the valtrex. But damn I want to be on less meds since I'm on so many given my other health issues. I was taking 1000 mg/day at one point. I actually weaned off completely and was fine for a few months until recently. Anyways, I appreciate all your help and support. Thanks again!

Hi everyone, I am in the exact same situation! I used to get one or two outbreaks a year and now I'm getting them back to back. How annoying!!! Im avoiding daily suppression currently. I was taking valtrex everyday before when I was sexually active. But now I'm just chilling so I ain't gonna take it. Just see if my body adapts. I've been on and off suppressives before. I was taking them because it made my past two partners feel safer. These outbreaks are most likely related to my health, as it has declined these past four years (ankolosing spondylitis and chronic migraine). My question is do you guys think going on and off suppressives could have been a factor? I prefer not to take it when I'm not dating someone but what are the chances of antiviral resistant hsv2 anyway? Thanks people!!
