Question:
Having been newly diagnosed with gt I'm going through that transition phase where I'm freaking out, stressing, and thinking no one will ever sleep with me again.

So I saw my therapist today for the first time in forever. She gave me great advice. When it comes to being intimate again I could say something like "I've had an outbreak of herpes x months ago. Have you ever had an outbreak?" And then discuss things from there.

It just never occurred to me to put it that way. That *I'm* not the only one who is afflicted and that this is (sadly) a very common disease.

So, what have you all experienced in telling someone before you sleep with them?

Thanks.
