  1. @optimist Your response was very nice to read. I have a friend who has had her diagnosis for 20 years and another for 10 years and both have told me that their disclosures have been met with majority acceptance. I have a hard time wrapping my head around this bc as soon as I was diagnosed 2 weeks ago, my bf broke up with me. He admitted genuinely that our relationship was the best thing he's ever been in (he's in his 40s) but he just "can't get over my diagnosis". It has been devastating bc he's the first guy I've been able to call my boyfriend. And suddenly it's gone.
  2. Thank you to both of you for your very helpful responses. I guess I kept telling myself, if the CDC doesn't think I should be tested, can't I just pretend I did not get tested and no one is none the wiser? However, Hiking Girl is absolutely right. I could not live with myself if I had this information and did not share it with someone I cared about. I would be haunted by this knowledge and it would eat me alive.
  3. I decided to get tested for Herpes just to know I've got a clean slate of sti results, never suspecting anything would come up. I tested positive for Herpes-2 and was absolutely shocked. I haven't had a single symptom to give me cause for concern. After some reading, I realized that the CDC doesn't recommend testing for people who are asymptomatic. Given all this, do I have to disclose to partners that I have herpes? Do I say, "I've never had a single outbreak but I was exposed at some point and may shed viral particles?
