In Reply to: Dating Herpies (Finding) posted by Ken on October 29, 2000 at 09:14:05:
: Hi,
: Well here it goes. I live in NJ and I was given Herpies by my ex-wife 8 years ago. Well as I said my ex-wife. We are not together now and I am having a big problem finding someone not freaked out about herpies. I joined a club that cost me $75.00 with nothing to show for it. All I want to do is live my life with a good woman to share it with me. LOL when you tell others you have herpies they run for the hills. As for my wife she has been with 4 other men so far and has not told them about it. I really feel sorry for them. I cant do that to anyone. So does anyone know how I can talk to others with this problem? And to meet others?
: Thanks,
: Kenny
Exactly what Magie said. :) and...
I think a lot it is in the presentation. When I first discovered I had herpes, I was really horrified...which lasted for about a day or so until I really dug my heels in and discovered more about the disease. I know a lot of people equate herpes with AIDS, or some other severe STD. And the only way to combat that is with a wealth of good information about the disease. It's all a matter of spin, really. A good friend of mine who has herpes has been very upfront about having it with every boyfriend she had, right up until the last one (the guy she married). Only one left her because of it. But, her approach is very positive, and she really stresses the fact that it's not likely for her partner to get it, and that it's completely do-able to live with someone who has the disease. It's not a death sentence for anyone. And it's not a tradgedy to have it, or be with someone who does. A true partner will be understanding of that. Good luck.
