Question:
Can I only get 100% honest answers to this? When you (the people here I mean) engage in sex with people other than full long terms committed relationships, do you always tell your partner you have herpes, or do you sometimes use protection but NOT tell?

Again, let's be honest. This is an anonymous board.

Answer:
i feel that it is only right to be honest and tell the person. however, i can't imagine the humiliation and fear you endure when in the situation. i plan to just stay away from dating for as long as i can. i'm having a very hard time dealing with this. maybe some day i will find a man that already has it because i would feel awful knowing that i gave this to someone else.

Answer:
Hello Gladys,

It is SO important to tell.

If people run away when you tell them, that is their problem and not yours.

Look for a relationship that nurtures YOU, where you feel loved and treasured for who you are.

That's when being honest brings it's own rewards.

Go out and date - but not with the intention of having sex. Make it about meeting with and connecting with other people.

Wishing you all the very best,

Alison

Answer:
i made the mistake once,and never again. I felt like the lowest piece of shit on the planet. the thought that i could have ruined someone elses life, made me want to kill myself. luckily he was ok. every other time I have told- it's my responsibility.
