It really upsets me when I hear that people don't tell their partners that they have herpes before having sex with them. I have had herpes for almost 16 years. The first person I had sex with gave it to me. Telling someone you have it may be the hardest thing you ever do. But if you truly care about the person you are with, they deserve to have the choice that you never had. It is a risk, but it is a risk that they deserve to take. No one with herpes should ever have sex with someone else without having a conversation about herpes. It is so wrong to put someone elses health at risk. Having herpes isn't the end of the world, I just think it is a pain my butt to have to deal with it. But it is what it is, I can't change it.

All I am saying is give the person you are with the choice you may not of had.
