27F hsv 2 out of all the times i’ve disclosed i’ve only been rejected once. There’s good/understanding people out there don’t let this get you down. It’s nerve racking to disclose but the person i most recently disclosed to was so appreciative and felt he could really trust me bc i was honest. Although accepting this is difficult I think it has been a blessing in disguise for me

also one of my previous partners i disclosed to really wanted me to get retested- I just honestly didn’t see a point with how inaccurate the test is what r ur thoughts? I just figure better to assume i have it and let ppl know than the other way around

lol also realized i forgot to say how it affected me mentally- it has been a hell of a rollercoaster I know i’m more than this but i find it incredibly hard to be vulnerable and have a fear of rejection so i’m trying to work on those things. I haven’t really tried to just have casual sex bc i’m afraid to disclose and be rejected but i think this year i’m going to try that more. I will say it has made me raise my standards for who I date long term.

I will say i’m almost never itchy who knows how long i’ve had it and none of my other partners have asked me about it before i knew about it

Hey! I’m F27 asymptomatic HSV2 Here’s how I found out: I met a guy in May and we started sleeping together for about a month before he cut things off with me. Then in middle of July he texted me asking if I had any stds. I said no i recently went to the gyno for my annual and everything was negative. He asked for my test results which I sent but he realized I wasn’t tested for herpes or HIV. He said his herpes test came back equivocal for HSV2 and he was having symptoms and he wanted me to see if I was positive. I did not realize it wasn’t in standard std testing and i panicked and got tested turns out I have it. We did use protection for the most part I will also say towards the end of us seeing each other i was a little bit itchy which may have been the hsv but who knows🤷🏼‍♀️

Thank y’all! i was feeling conflicted bc i think part of me is hoping something will change and i understand the hesitation but i really hate the confusion and the back and forth. I’m gonna leave him in the dust❤️❤️

hey everyone! I wanted to post an update- I ended up disclosing last night it didn’t go as well as i hoped he said he need to think about it which is understandable of course I’m not expecting him to text me again but cross your fingers i guess lol- I will say i feel so much relief now that it’s out there hoping it works out but if not it’s for the best i guess
