Hello, I am new to this site. I just needed somewhere to go. Five years ago my boyfriend and I both tested positive for HSV-2. We were in love and had each other so it didn't seem like a big deal. Well he recently broke up with me and I have been dealing with the broken heart. But now that I am starting to open up to dating others, I realized I have this entirely new obstacle now. I'm struggling between my heart being ripped to pieces and than the idea of the next time I'm brave enough to open my heart again, I will be rejected because of a common skin condition that just has a bad stigma. Any advice for how to be brave enough to get back out there with both a broken heart and hsv? I'm trying so hard to stay positive.
