ok. I've recently been diagnosed with herpes. which one, not sure. as I haven't had an outbreak. well at least one that I have not noticed... my question is how do I tell my significant other. this is one conversation I am not wanting to make. i feel guilty as it is, because i might have passed it on with out knowing i had it. please any info would greatly be appreciated.

do you mind me asking how you have been diagnosed if you had no outbreak?
Personally i would just tell my most recent partner! Herpes is so common that more then likely youve already come across it with a sexual partner with out knowing! I find that honestly is the best way! Also if i dont come across upset while saying it people have tended to have a better response!
youve never had reason to think you had it! just find a time were you are both relaxed and its a calm area! then just be honest! most people are very understanding!

so I haven't had an outbreak that I know of. I was getting small canker like sores in my mouth on the inside of my lip. the sore would last for a day then be gone the day after. I went to the doctor he said not to worry, and suggested i change my toothpaste. i did so and they stopped. but then one day it started and i asked the doctor if he could do an std exam. when they did the blood work it came back positive for hsv1. my scrotum has been itchy but I am a diabetic and my legs have been itchy also. so that's kinda normal. they say someone can be positive for hsv and not show any signs of it. that's how it gets passed along so easy.
