okay so basically, my ex gave me HSV-2 (genital herpes) and now i take valtrex everyday to supress and happy little problems down there.
boyfriend dumped me after 2 years, hooked up with other girls while we were together and i'm sure did not tell them. nice.
i'm all about condoms - which lessens the risk along with taking valtrex..
so my question is, i met this boy, and had been making out with him super hot - and really felt like he was interested in me - and i told him he needed to know something. so i told him. and i'm pretty sure he's wigged out.
i'm asking those who DON'T have it how would you feel if you were told this by a possible partner? most people do not know much about it, therefore don't know the risks or whatever. don't you think if you really dug someone you would've care? just wrap it up right??
thoughts???? i'm very interested in this. i have only spoke to him once since i've told him. and he's backed off. for now.
i just wanna know what i'm up againts.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Now as to whether he sticks around or not... that is something different.
Now, i have a completely different lifelong medical problem, and it is impossible for me to pass it on, but it is disgusting enough that i have lost potential dating partners because of it.
What i have to say is this. Now that you have this, for a potential partner, it has to be someone who is not weirded out, and has enough emotion about you to where they are willing to contract it themself. Not necessarily that they want to, but hey, it always is a possibility. the type of person you need to keep an eye out for now is the caring, gentle type that is very empathetic to other ppl. Look at the bright side of this... no longer will assholes want to scope you out!
I was with my boyfriend of the time 9 months and had just moved in with him when he had his first outbreak ever. He didn't know until then and I was tested too but remained uninfected and chose to remain in the relationship. Now the dynamic here is a bit different since I had already formed a strong bond with this person but I can say (because I know me) that if I were truly interested in a person, outside of the bedroom that I would be adult enough to accept this 'fact of life', if you will. You may go through a lot of guys until you find the one who cares about you enough to get educated and understand that life isn't over for you but think about it (the virus) as a positive filter...meaning that you'll filter through most all the jokers without getting attached and really hurt in the process.
Just some thoughts!
I take it the little blighters clear up!!
I'd probably be very shocked, not something you want to hear when everythings starting out all new and fresh!!
Saying that you did the right thing! He she respect you for having the courage and honesty to mention it!
If he sacks you off because of this I'd be asking myself if he was the right person anyway!
trust me, i ain't preaching, but in my 20 years of promiscuous sex i have finally realized that i have been going about it backwards....
trust, honesty, communication, honor....
THEN SEX.
cause once sex is in the equation it's an entirely different ballgame....
hope that makes sense.
take what you like and leave the rest.
blessings dear!

they'll stick with you if they REALLY like you. oh boy. i'm not looking forward to this. and yes i explained the usage of condoms and the meds i take.. hmm gives me more to journal about i suppose. thanks for your responses. it's hard to put myself in the position of hearing it from someone else, when i already have it. someone is bound to care, right? i'm cute. but i wanna do it! and i have to honest. and it sucks. ha. thanks everyone!
People I would think would know all about it by now, they have valtrx commercials on all the time.
yes the ex lives. and got with 2 girls while we were still together. i really thought he was a good guy. seemed so much more caring than other's i had met. now he is still with the 2nd girl. i doubt either one of them were told. esp knowing now how hard it is to say.
:( sorry that happened to you
thank you all!
