I was diagnosed with genital herpes when I was 14 and I feel it destroyed my life. Anyhow my question is how do you tell someone that you have it without chasing them away? I know it's possible to spread it even when no outbreak is present but out all the sexual partners I've had, I've only supposedly given it to one person. Anyhow, I know it's my responsibly to tell new partners but I don't want them to turn me away because of it. I'll still use a condom.

Wow, 14? how'd u get em? If its of any consolation, I had unprotected sex many times starting at age 13, but didn't get g.h. til 19. N E ways, u should always tell ur partners, u said it destroyed ur life? Y would u want that to happen to someone else. Join a support group in ur community. If someone likes u they'll b with u no matter what. I'm here if u ever want to talk.

Finally I didn't think anyone was ever going to answer me. Anyways I actually lost my virginity at thirteen from being raped. *long story* Anyways I had very few partners back then but I wasn't diagnosed until I was 14. According to my doctor at that time supposedly it can take many years before symptoms of herpes shows up so I couldn't tell you if it was from being raped or unprotected sex. I completely agree with what you said on telling all of them and I agree with if they like me, they'll be with me no matter what. Thank you so much for the talk.

My best advice is to put your pride on the back burner and be honest with that person before any sexual contact is made. I sat people down and broke the news in the past...they left. But one stayed...for 8 years. It will happen. The ones that leave weren't right for you. Not right for your individual conditions. That's okay. That is their right to choose to leave. Please be the bigger person and lay the truth down...let them choose. Let them "choose" YOU. Good luck.
