So last year in April 2016 I found out I had genital herpes. Please use condoms to those reading this!! A guy I really liked had sex with someone else while we were dating, he got it from her and then gave it to me. The symptoms, if your get the full effects, are horrible - flu like symptoms. That was the first outbreak. Now i never feel different or might have a little outbreak that's nothing compared to the first.

But anywho, there's a new guy I'm talking to, well he's not new, we're giving our dating another try. I met him in college, 5-6 years before I got herpes. Yes we've had sex way before. So, we're giving it another try and we've been hanging out. It's getting to the point where it could be serious about a relationship and sex.

It's so hard when I think of telling someone about a STD that I'm not over sulking about. How should I tell him my status, it makes me so nervous that I may not get a relationship ever because of this STD. It's really depressing sometimes, but I still I deserve love right?
