I have had this for 16 years,stayed with the man i got it from,,now i have gone 2 years with out dating. I feel like im a leper,I dont want to date any one local. I am to meet a man next week,,he knows but i know he is un sure if he wants any thing phycial.We do like each other but im sure thats a big factor,, So i read all the herpes info,its so sad,always a chance to pass it on,,even with condoms,and meds.
