I was diagnosed with HSV2 about 2 years ago. I have come to

I was diagnosed with HSV2 about 2 years ago. I have come to terms with the virus and accepted there is nothing I can do to get rid of it . I sometimes wonder if I will be able to find love again. I feel if I tell anyone I'm interested in they will just walk away. I mean come on I'm pretty sure before we contracted this disease we didn't think to highly of it either. I just don't know how to tell any interested partners I have it . Opinions suggestions Anybody!?!

I completely know how you feel.. I wonder the exact same thing… maybe if we tell the ones we're interested in about the virus in a way that lets them know we are not ashamed, then they will not be as grossed out. I don't know how to tell the guy I like either…. I feel like I shouldn't have to feel like my herpes defines me, I'm still me & I think I'm pretty lovable, so are you!

Yes exactly I mean I feel like if I were to tell him it's as if I were telling him I was a murderer or something. But I just hate how society defines herpes as nasty and something only nasty dirty people have
