Semi disclosure...


Recommended Posts

After a weekend of internal anger, a discussion began with the person I am seeing. I haven't told him anything yet, but knows I'm not ready for sex and has respected that. In our discussion we talked about trust and being with each other. I told him that I am currently waiting until the 4 month mark to make sure I am all clear. I have held off on telling him because I still don't know exactly if it's 1 or 2. And I want to make sure I have all my facts before sharing it completely. And we got into the fear of possibly being positive. I gave him some of the facts like how it's really just a skin condition, with medication and protection it's a 1% chance of transmission. He knew a little bit about it with knowing that 80% of the population has it. Just wanted to get thoughts on disclosing in this way.

I don't think there is ever a right & wrong way to disclose,

it is down to the person who is disclosing to do it the way they feel best.

So if the way you have done it works for you, so be it.

Hope it ends in success!

I totally second what Amando said! There really is no right or wrong way to disclose. Disclosing is the part of the journey that can help you regain control you have felt you lost, and empower you. 

It really is whatever you feel most comfortable with. It sounds like the person your seeing is receptive and open to the info on hsv, which is great. All you can do is try, and respect their decisions. It may result in something great - just make sure you don't get in your own way by stressing too much about it!
