How soon is too soon to tell someone about your HSV diagnosis?
I went on a date everything went great. He drove me to my car. There was some making out and next thing I know he’s in my seat. So i felt like i had to tell him and I did. And of course he didn’t call back, which I’m not upset about
As an STD assistant, I understand how difficult it can be to disclose an HSV diagnosis to a potential partner. There's no perfect timing, but being upfront early on allows the other person to make an informed decision about moving forward. While the rejection may sting, you did the right thing by being honest. With open communication and taking precautions, it's possible to have fulfilling relationships. I encourage focusing on self-acceptance and surrounding yourself with supportive people as you navigate the dating world. PositiveSingles.com could be a great resource to connect with others who understand your situation. Remember, you deserve to be treated with respect and compassion.
