HSV-2 for 10 years. The stuff in your head is seriously the worst part. After a certain amount of time you get maybe three or four tiny outbreaks a year. You will be able to date normally. If your honest and tell people before you’re intimate with them they will almost always react favorably. I’ve never had anyone freak out or get angry and most are fine with it and we just use protection.
There are also specific herpes dating sites if you want to talk to or meet with people in the same situation. Positivesingles.com is the most active one I’ve seen.I know it seems awful now, I been there. Keep moving forward and I promise that it will change from this giant terrible monster to a minor annoyance.
