I'm two months OB free (and on a daily oral medication routine) from genital herpes and me and my partner were having having sex for the first time and the condon fell off. I haven't told him yet about my situation. So my question is anyone out there been in this situation before and there partner been ok?
May I ask why you haven't disclosed?
The risk is there, even w condoms on. Condoms only provide 50% protection, so you can still pass it w condoms.
I'm not really sure. The subject hasn't come up and I usually am very good about knowing when I'm going to have relations with someone and it surprised me. And I didn't want to blurt it out. So now I'm going to have to have the talk.
Drazil, is that really being honest w yourself? Topics like that don't come up, you are responsible for starting the conversation. You didn't want to tell him, out of fear of rejection. So now a mess has been made and now it's time to clean it up and do what is right
Although the risk is low, w no condoms but on meds, it's about a 2% risk. W condoms and meds, about 1%. Don't let those numbers make you feel you're clear, I've seen others get it w condoms.
You're totally right. And I did the research myself so I just figured I would have more time before we got to the next step in the relationship but I was wrong.
Well Google H Opportunity and see the herpes life forum. Create an account and it will send you some pamphlets that you can print out for disclosure and statistics. It will help you through some videos on disclosing.
Oh thank you for the tip! I'll check this out right now.
