if your partner is the understanding type and really cares then it may not hurt them much when they found out. just dont hide it from him. of course they are going to be afraid and a little freaked out but just be honest. I found out that i had HPV a few months ago and it was hard to tell my boyfriend. we have been together for a long time and i neva had any problems until we had unprotected sex. i guess its safe to say he gave it to me, although he didn't have and still doesn't have symptons. but when i told him i felt ashamed and embrassesed but i kept it honest with him. he loves me alot and he understands and doesn;t let it affect our relationship. it brought us closer. we take precaution now by using protection and trying to keep from reinfecting one another but hey you do what you gotta do. if they cant handel it then it wasnt meant to be.

My boy friend told me yesterday that he had herpes. I am a vergin and younger then him and it was difficult to handle at first. He told me in a text messege, (not a good idea) when telling someone you care about tell them in person when you are tlkaing about the relationship and where you see it heading. If your partner cares about you then they wil finsd away to deal with it. But tell them before anything physical happens and before you have any physical moments because my boy freind told me to alte and there may be a chance I have it aswell but i am not sure how it is contracted????
