I've had herpes for tweleve years this month. I know how hard it is to tell someone you really like that you have a disease. You wonder if he will accept you, or think you're a slut. Inside you feel different. I know. I have herpes every single day of my life and I don't need an out break to remind me. I'm glad you found someone special. Good for you!

Thanks, I know what you mean. I hate to say the word, too - it is just an ugly sounding word. I think all we can do is work on loving ourselves despite the disease. I try to remember that everything happens for a reason and I just have to accept it and just deal with it. The biggest thing is to love ourselves and know that someone out there will love us anyway. Besides, it sounds like the disease is quite common now so who knows, maybe we will find someone who also has it and understands our situation. We need to focus on the positive and then positive things will come our way!

Hello, I can understand your predicament. I too, have Herpes and am afraid to go out with anyone because I would be too embarrassed to tell them I have it. And I would be afraid they would reject me once they knew. I often feel I will have to be alone the rest of my life because of this. Part of me feels that I just need to be more self confident and know that I deserve love just like everyone else but another part of me feels no one will want to be with me because of this condition. It can really get me down sometimes especially when I find someone whom I really like. Hang in there and know you are not alone!

Have had Herpes for about 4 years now and I'm 49(50 tomorrow!) always feeling like I can't be in a relationship, and don't know how to be in one if I was....who would want to be with me? I get asked out alot but decline because I just don't know where to start. People make jokes about Herpes all the time, and it hurts me inside to hear them. Please give me some advice. Thanks
