I can't tell you that it's easy because it's not but I will tell you it gets better and easier over time. I was diagnosed 2 years ago and for the first few months or years I should say I was in denial and didn't really think about it much, I've never had another outbreak so there was nothing room remind me, and then I met my current boyfriend and was absolutely terrified to tell him thinking he'd be disgusted and would leave me.....but he didn't he actually completely accepted me and we have been together for 6 months now. We are responsible and always use protection. There are still times I get emotional about it and he is my rock always supporting me now I think of it for what it is. It's a skin condition that millions of people have and nothing more. I know it's hard but it will get better and you will find love again. Just take one day at a time and remember your not alone we are here 😊

I was diagnosed with H2 many years ago and the first year i was a reck. I was always depressed, angry, and emotional. I felt less of a man and worthless to women. As years went by, things started to get better but i never really dated much due to the fear of having to tell about my condition. Im 38 now and never been married and have no kids, and this is something i really want in life. So, i met this beautiful woman in September and we started dating. Shortly after i became terrified that i had to tell her i have H2 as the relationship became more stable. That day came last week and i was soo scared that i started shaking and almost broke down seconds before i told her. To my amazement she gave me the warmest hug i have ever felt from a woman and told me, "Its okay, i like you for who you are and not what you have, my feelings have not changed about you". The relief i had was incredible!!!
She doesnt know much about H1-2 because the country she is from has such a small percentage of this virus that its not talked about like it is here in the US. So we are working together for her to understand what this means for both of us and our relationship.
when you ask about happiness its hard to say beacuse everyone is different, but for me i will never completley feel happy due to H2. Maybe im just not that strong of a peson, but for now that i have found someone who seems to be okay with it, i am happy. Honesty is the best policy here and you will be surprised how many are accepting to H. Those who are not, well maybe they arent the ones you want in your life. Take it day by day and life will get better!!!

I really didn't say much to her as i was only 19 or 20 at the time. I knew nothing about the virus and when she told me she had it. I wasnt sure what to think. She told me she was having an outbreak at the time we were sleeping together and never told me until it was to late. When i went to the clinic a few days later, they said to come back in about 4 months, and thats when i was positive. I never said anything to her after that as i had already broken up with her. But i still to this day have major anger towards her. And i didn't have my first outbreak until i was 30-31 year's old.
But on a side note my new found GF and i had another conversation today about our relationship and things seemed to be heading in the right direction. Mind you we haven't been sexually intament yet, other then passionate kissing. She now knows what the risks are for her and told me that if things become serious, and if she were to contract H2, that would be okay because she is so in love with me due to my honesty, kindness, and how brave i was to tell her.
As i mentioned before life gets better, as it has for me. It definitely will for you Takenc.

Wow so 10 years later you were diagnosed you got a out break. ? I don't don't to the guy who gave it to me. I totally cut him off. I told him what was going on and he said he was clean. I don't believe him because when you go to get a std test they don't check you for herpes unless you want for have symptoms. Well I hop it does get better. I also panic my self thinking I might have HIV but I have gone 4 times to check and they all come back negative. So am just going to stop thinking that way. Because I don't have HIV
