Question:
My mom, sister and boyfriend are the only ones that know about my having herpes. I don't like keeping this secret from my dad but i know that if he found out that i had it that it would break his heart and than he'd probably kill my boyfriend and then me (probably not that far but he'd be extremely angry and probably make me never speak to my boyfriend again) He always planned on me waiting until marriage to have sex and so did my mom but when she found out she was very understanding, but she's a much better understander than my dad.. Anyways, the point of this bulletin is my dad is a dentist and i planned on keeping this secret from him for as long as i could, but in order to get ANYTHING done at his office, even a cleaning, they need to know what medication i'm on. And if i put down that i'm on Valtrex than he'll figure out that i've herpes. And it really stinks because i've never gotten an outbreak in my mouth (knock on wood), only in my genital area but he needs to know the medications i'm on anyways..

Anyways, i just needed to get that out cuz i'm really worried for how he's going to respond.. :?

Answer:
Tough situation. Some options: tell your dad; visit a different dentist; or tell your dad but say it's because you now get cold sores on your lips.
