How am i suppose to tell anyone
I have not told anyone..how am i suppose to tell anyone. can i kiss anymore..what can i do. I am so distraught...i cry constantly. I met someone and we are in the conversation phase just over the phone. What am I am suppose to do. Just tell him I can never be with him sexually. I am carrying around this burden I think I need to seek consultion. I cannot deal with this mentally.
I realized a few things when i was diagnosed. First and foremost, I can either let this disease define me or I can define it. That is, I can either be such a strong and cool person that the disease is overshadowed by me, or I can curl up like a whipped dog.
Secondly, you KNOW you have the disease, so YOU CAN TAKE STEPS TO PREVENT TRANSMITTING IT. So many people don't know they have it, and only find out when their sweetie-pie gets blisters on her labia. You have the upper hand. You know. You can use condoms, and go on suppressive therapy, and be careful to avoid sex during outbreaks.
Thirdly, this is only an external flaw. Plenty of people have their flaws on the inside, which i think is much worse. Think about it - would you rather date someone who is crazy and mean, or would you rather date a really nice person with herpes? (I am sure you don't feel like it right now, but I'm sure you're a very wondeful person.)
Finally...Robin Williams has herpes. I am a huge fan of stand-up comedy, and for some reason it made me feel a lot better to hear it.
I hope this helps, but try to talk to someone close to you. When I told my roommate, her first words were, "How can I help you with this?" I was sure she'd kick me out, but she has no problem with it ^__^

I have been diagnosed with hsv 2 sorry i misspelled consultation. I am so upset, who am i suppose to tell..I cant tell my family or friends I am dealing with this by myself.
Because you have herpes does not neccesarily mean you cannot sexually be with someone. If you are on medication, do not have sex during outbreak periods, and use protection, his chances of contracting herpes from you greatly decreases. You said you cannot kiss, do you have HSV1 or HSV2?
