Question:
Dating a guy that I just realized I'm in love with. Just found out I have HSV 2. What's the best way to tell him so I don't totally freak him out and so he's less likely to run for the hills? I could really use some sound advice, cause I can't stop crying. Please help.

Answer:
definitely before any sexual activity.
if he loves you, he wont run from the hills, just be open and prepared to answer questions.

Answer:
make sure you talk with him face to face don't do it over the phone. come out and tell him you have it and explain some of the facts and statistics. try practice saying it to yourself in front of a mirror it will let you be more prepared and maybe even go to a website and print off some information so that if he wants it he will have that to read more about hsv. hope this helps you out a little

Answer:
I was feeling like you just 2 weeks ago. Everybody reacts in different ways about different situations and i dont think there could ever be an easy way to tell someone that you have HSV 2. Just be strong and straight forward and no matter what the outcome know that by telling him, you did the right thing and its nothing to be embarrassed or ashamed over. You know yourself that your a wonderful lovable person who deserves to be loved back no matter what and thats what it comes down to.

You also need to be informed about it and answer, as best you can, questions he might have. If it would help, you both might want to see a physician together.

You must be honest and you must be willing to accept the fact that he'll not be able to handle it. That sucks....it happened to me and it is hard to deal with but you'll survive it and move on.

If he can accept it, I would suggest going slow and easy. Take time to know each other better.

That is what I meant to say originally.
