Thank you for responding. I fully intend to tell someone before sex. I’m more concerned about dating for an extended period of time and the other person getting offended after building a relationship, so I currently just don’t date. Dating is difficult enough in your 40’s. Has anyone tried the herpes dating sites?
Most men were thankful and grateful I told them before we had a sexual encounter.. and wanted to have sex anyway with protection at first don't be offended if they do.
I appreciate all your advice. I guess It’s all so new I’m just still going through all the emotions of the divorce after 15 yrs. One day I’m fully intent on putting myself out there then I normally just go home and channel surf. Finding it difficult to get motivated.
PositiveSingles is a site I use. It’s not bad. I’ve been diagnosed for two months. HSV-2. Go on a few dates and if it’s going well, tell them, or before sex. Wouldn’t tell them before then. I was told the same advice and it’s better that way. I tried upfront and most people just run. Lol. Stigma is worst part. The virus isn’t even that bad…
