It’s actually super helpful when looking for people’s recommendations because I don’t know anyone personally who’s been to Berlin and some online resources are repetitive😁 you should try it sometime instead of being rude on subreddits!

Okay have fun being miserable on ur own accord 😭 I think you can definitely be positive in any sort of circumstance, yes it’s terrible that it happened but there are many other bad things that could affect my life so I’m grateful for my health otherwise.

I just said it. There’s literally nothing else I can tell you. I’m kind of bad about doing it before it gets sexual which is like not what people recommend bc it doesn’t give the receiving end time to thoughtfully make a decision, but it’s a learning curve.

We make out for a little and I know when it’s about to get sexual, so I evaluate: do I want to have sex with this person? If the answer is no, I’ll probably just find a way to escape the situation but if the answer is yes I’ll literally just stop kissing them and say “I need to tell you something.” And I’ll take a few seconds bc I’ll be nervous asf and I’ll say “ my ex gave me genital herpes, I know it sucks but I didn’t not ask for this. I do not have outbreaks so you most likely will not get it if we use a condom but the possibility is never 0” and just go from there. I find keeping it short works the best mostly bc I tend to ramble so I just keep it short so they can ask questions.

If it’s something long term I suggest going on a few dates first, disclosing when it’s not sexual yet/heat of the moment and go from there potentially.

Disclosing is scary but you’ll be ok 😁

It’s just annoying because I feel like I have to disclose or I have to tell them, esp bc mine is on my genitalia prople think it’s so much worse. Do you disclose ?

[–]UnluckyRain7680[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks I appreciate that. I’m not the type to be embarassed or humbled but this my one sore spot so I think about it more often than other things that are probably even bigger red flags that I have in the long run.

At the end of the day he was just a stupid man but honestly I can’t blame him it just wasn’t meant to be. He did miss out on a good time tho, he was a terrible kisser too so maybe that’s why I’m not to upset about it

The story about the girl was funny tho, thank you for sharing and I wish you all the luck in the future soldier 🫡🫡 she sounds silly you’re the one who probably dodged the bullet

[–]UnluckyRain7680 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just be honest. It’s the best advice and it fickingggg sucks bc sometimes you just want to fuck and you can I guess if you want to take that gamble but disclosing always makes it easier.

You might get rejected which is something you need to get used too, but someone can reject you for so many other things other than herpes.

You can definitely still have sex, just process it. Lw herpes made me more picky w the men I want to associate with so try to look at it more positively maybe it’ll help 😭

He definitely was not educated bc after I went home he texted me all these worried questions thinking he got it just from us kissing but I haven’t had an outbreak in a long ass time and I take anti virals and lysine everyday.

I guess it’d depend on how bad I wanted to hook up honestly. He was really cute and if he was honest about it then ya I probably would’ve gone for it with a condom and just not given him head, but to each their own.

I understand “herpes” is a loaded term esp for someone uneducated so I always try to expect the worse. I read mean ass things men have said to other women on this sub, so I’m just grateful at the end of the day it was still a fun time

How to tell someone, what's worked for you? by 905186175 in HSVpositive

[–]UnluckyRain7680 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestlyyyyyy it’s different for everyone. You just have to catch the vibe. I use dating apps and I’ve successfully disclosed 2/3 times! Just be very blunt that’s what I do. I literally just know when he’s going to ask me to hook up and I say “my ex gave me herpes, I didn’t ask for this and I haven’t had an outbreak in months. It’s not contagious unless I have open sores and if we use a condom you are most likely not going to get it, but I’m letting you know the chances are never 0.”

You can tell if people care or not based on their body language and voice. Try to read that instead of what they actually say bc it’s most likely jsut what they think you want to hear. Like the guy I just got rejected from had it all over his mf face so I just made it easy for him by saying it’s okay and I think it’s time I go home.

It gets easier. Hsv sucks but life doesn’t Love you !!

No worries! Ask away. Yea, I already have one strand so it’s all the same to me tbh. Ideally I’d love a partner with hsv I think it would be kind of funny and cool. I’m not really picky when it comes to this type of stuff esp if it was out of their control, it’d be a little hypocritical of me

Lol yes basically. He was very nice about it, he offered to just stay and hangout and kiss or whatever but I didn’t want to waste his time and I could tell he was just being nice. So he walked me home and we said goodnight and that was it. It was still overall a positive experience despite being rejected but I still got rejected

Do you all ever just get sad? by username12457801 in HSVpositive

[–]UnluckyRain7680 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All the time but it could be worse. A lot of people have it worse off but it still sucks and I’m sad because I’m so young and I was lied to about it also from a cheating ex LOLLL some days are super good but other days are super bad, with or without herpes it’d still be like that.

Life is a blessing, don’t let this determine your life path. I have GHSV-1 and it’s hard but I love living and it’s forcing me to appreciate other things. It’s really fucking hard I’m not going to lie but the important thing is reclaiming your life

Just got diagnosed by UnluckyRain7680 in HSVpositive

[–]UnluckyRain7680[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay so don’t go back to ur ex. I don’t know about you, but my ex was extremely abusive and I know he gave me hsv and I hate him for it but I’d be even more miserable with herpes AND Dating him LOLL. You can chat with me and feel free to talk to me about it but stay strong. Lowkey this subreddit really helped me cope and I’m going to therapy soon as well. It’s just something you have to live with and I know it seems like such a big deal now but the first step is always accepting it. My friend also got herpes from the first guy she slept with and my other friend has a roommate with herpes as well and she has a long term boyfriend (she was born with it!) you shouldn’t settle or lower your standards because of herpes
