How do I tell a new partner I have this before having sex?

Whoever can answer this let me know ..

I would like to know .

You need to start the meds at least five days before sex in order for them to work. Condoms are still advised. If you have new Type 2 infection, go with the higher recommended daily dosage. Type 1 rarely requires meds.

Did u get any advice ?? I need to know to. N what's the highest dose

I was in the same position after Telling a partner about my condition I was called vile, disgusting etc ... It broke me I was so upset and depressed how could I ever be in a relationship again with an incurable disease? How could anyone possibly wanna risk getting this? I was deveasted and the person that infected me denied having it but after 2 months finally admitted.

But luckily I had been good friends with a guy for around 3 years we had started to see each other romantically and I felt before I carried this on any further he had to know, so before any sexual contact we had the talk.

I told him over text the next time we met up I wanted to talk to him about something important, so obviously he was eager to know and I explained that I had contracted HSV 2 he asked me what it was so I explained further and he said does it kill you? Does It affect you having children? So obviously replied no to both and he said then I don't care, you still are the same person you don't look any different or change as a person and I still really like you.

I was nearly brought to tears I was so happy someone finally saw herpes for what it is .... A minor skin condition.

Few months later we are stil together have a good sex life, always use condoms as I'm not on birth control and I take daily meds. He even said after a year and were still together he wouldn't be bothered about catching HSV as I explained to him calmly previously what it is ... Rather than freaking out

I feel so blessed... There will be a right time I promise you, you will know when to tell him just make sure you are not sexual before or that is unfair.

If he doesn't accept you then he isn't the right guy for you simple as ... Everything happens for a reason ... Good luck! ☺️

This is always risky and you are gonna expose yourself in very personal way but it must be done before. Moreso, its important to know your partner before you disclose your status because when you have this virus you cannot engage in casual or disposable sex, get a toy for that. The next person you are going to be with has to be someone with the right intentions and one who see's more than just a sexual partner in you.

There really is no easy way or formula but you can just let them know that you are interested in them but you are not ready for that right now and that you both should get to know each other better ... that helps me to get rid of them and weed out the good from the bad. Although suppressive therapy is an option, it is not an immediate fix and must be done on a consequetive basis to be effective. There's no fix it pills or surgery but a disciplined lifestyle.

Be Well!
