Hsv1 and disclosing

Does anyone not disclose they have HSV1? I have it genitally and I have always said I have it to people i am interested in (I don’t mention where cause I don’t think it matters) but I’m starting to think about even not telling people.

I’ve had two outbreaks (initial and one cause I got a tattoo and my immune system was dealing with that). I would never sleep with someone when I had an outbreak.

80% of the population has type 1 and you don’t see people with cold sores telling people they have it if they don’t have an outbreak so why do I have to because of where I have it? Isn’t that just deepening the stigma?

Doctors don’t even test for it because they agreed that the stigma and mental repercussions are not worth it.

It is even harder to transmit genitally and it sheds less often than orally so why

does it make sense that I should be pressured and forced to tell everyone when EIGHTY PERCENT of people have it and tell NO ONE?

Personally all it has done is cause me stress and depression but if it’s on your mouth it’s totally fine even though it’s THE SAME VIRUS.

Anyone agree??
