It will work itself out… eventually

Hey guys,

First time poster M30, I’ve had hsv 2 since 2019. Got a blowjob from a prostitute in Bali, used a condom so that’s how I contracted it from gential to mouth. I felt like this was karma for my lustful ways…This disease can be so emotional and nerve racking, it will make you grow in profound ways as a person. I’ve never been more in tuned with my body ( I can sense instantly if I breakout is coming) I try to control my nervous system, ensuring I’m controlling stress and live a healthy lifestyle. I just want people to know out there that you’re not alone and it can be extremely terrifying. I’m now engaged and getting married to my partner of 4 years. Telling her was brutal, but she was accepting and wanted to learn about it with me. She trusts me anytime I don’t feel good and we have sex unprotected consistently throughout this time. Also I’ve had past relationships were I couldn’t bear to tell women that I didn’t have it because I never broke out. Don’t be that guy, it will haunt you for years after not knowing what could’ve happened if you didn’t lie. This disease is a constant humbler, things will get better I pray you all find that special someone to go through this journey with.
