I dont know how to do this, help me!

Hey guys.  So for anyone who's seen my posts on here before, I was in a relationship for 7 years, and gave myself the gift of herpes about 3 years ago now. 

 

Well, my ex an di broke up a while ago, and I had met someone.   We started talking online and one day this friend came over and we wound up having sex before I could disclose. (Oral herpes on my genitals) 

I havent had a outbreak in quite a while (a few months) and me and this guy have now been seeing eachother for a few weeks now. But I'm so scared to tell him and have him leave.

Hes younger than I am, but very mature. And I'm concerned that the stigma of the virus will make him leave.  

Does anyone have any advice on how it would be best to tell someone this?! I'm losing my mind, and really dont want to lose him.

Hi @kinator!

It's courageous for you to reach out and ask. The first step is to work with your own inner shame around this and let it go. Let go of the stigma and embrace your vulnerability. In short, become Stigma Bulletproof.
