How do you tell someone you love and want to be with... that you have genital Herpes?



Has anyone gone through this and not be thought of as an absolute dirtbag by the one they love?? I Know some things about herpes but not enough to know if I will ever have a loving relationship again. I'm so depressed and feel sick to my stomach about being alone the rest of my life. The person that gave this to me knew they had it and never thought to tell me. They said that they were to ashamed. I don't want to do that to the one i'm with. What can I tell him so that he might be open to the possibility of working this out?? Someone help me please. . . I'm so scared.

Let me start by saying you are not alone. Actually statistically 3 out of 5 women have genital herpes. It is probably one of the most common STD's. With that said you need to tell whoever that you do have it. Yes its embarressing, yes its hard but you need to do the right thing so they can decide for themselves what the best thing to do is. Maybe you can get some information online or some brochures and tell the person you love while you have the information there with you. Tell him in person and be honest. It is not your fault the person who gave it to you didn't tell you. It was a mistake. Many people cannot accept it but believe me there are many people who can. My advice is be honest and dont lie, in the end it will all work out. Source(s): Personal Experience
Hey sweet thing...I got Warts !!
if you really love them and they love you then honesty is the best policy after all they will catch them from you if you are having an attack of them and have sex with your partner so get it out of the way asap
Well first it depends on how much you trust him and if you know he really cares. If you know you 2 have agreat relationship then it should be fine. Just tell him you need to talk to him and it is very serious and to not say anything until you are done. Tell him how much you really care and tell him you are scare then tell him why you are scared... Explain to him how it happend to you and yo wnt him to know because you love him so much and that you would like to work through this with him... Then ask him does he have any thoughts opinions or any thing at all to say
I agree with Klynn598. You have to be honest. It will be hard. But if the person is a decent human being they will understand. It would be best for you to learn more about Herpes before telling them
