It is important for an individual with genital herpes to not allow the disease to become the defining factor of their lives or their identity. However, it is highly important for an individual with the disease to inform their partner of their condition before the two become physically intimate. Even if a person is not suffering from an outbreak, the disease can still be transmitted from skin to skin contact. Although it does provide an additional hurdle to cross when one is looking for a life partner, there are numerous individuals who have successfully passed this hurdle and are living in normal and healthy relationships, including sexually active ones. Yet, your life is not over simply because you have contracted a sexually transmitted disease.

Returning to the dating scene after you have discovered you have contracted genital herpes can bring a myriad of fears and questions. If you tell a person you have the disease, will they still want to date you? Will your partner believe that you are a “bad” person? What will they tell other people about me? Will I ever be able to have a normal sex life again? These emotions are certainly understandable. You can still date. You can still fall in love. You can even still get married and have children! However, it is important to be open and honest with a potential partner, because a long lasting relationship should not be built upon a foundation of lies or deception.
Your potential dates down the road will be concerned about the fact that you have a sexually transmitted disease. Although suppressive medications can keep the disease in check, there is not a cure available for it. However, when you tell a partner about your affliction, their reaction will allow you to gauge which ones are serious about having a relationship with you in the future. Simply having genital herpes does not change the essence of who you are as a person. There will be individuals who will exit the relationship because they are unable to cope with your disease. You should anticipate this reaction in some instances, but it should not be allowed to affect your self esteem. Being open and honest with someone you care about your STD will demonstrate your concern for their well being, and it will allow you to find the man or woman who will look past the disease to see you for who you truly are.
