Today I discovered I have HSV. Now I have not been officially tested but I know what it looks like and how long it lasts. I don't know who I got it from but it's okay. I know it's not as serious as society makes it up to be. So tonight once I realized I told my partner. It was really hard for me to do I have horrible anxiety but he needed to know. I'm not going to be the asshole who possibly gave it to me and didn't tell me. It's not who I am. I care for him deeply and I don't know how he's going to reply until the morning but I know no matter what I believe I did the right thing even if he sees me as a jerk after this. YOU ARE NOT RUINED OR UGLY IF YOU HAVE HSV YOU ARE NOW JUST MORE AWARE OF YOURSELF AND PEOPLE
