I was just diagnosed with genital herpes yesterday and I'm suppose to tell all my partners. I don't know how to even start a conversation like that. I'm not a bad person and I don't sleep around, I just put too much trust in the WRONG man. Now, I guess I'll be paying for it for the rest of my life. I just want to know how do I get them to understand that. Men today hear something like that from someone they've slept with and automatically label her a whore or a slut. I'm neither and I'm still the same person with feelings and I want them to know that I never meant to hurt them in any kind of way. Someone please tell me what to do!
Not so long ago there was news over the internet, that now one infected with std can send an e-card notifying a partner that he/she needs to get tested for std. They can range for serious to humorus. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/20/health/20partners.html Search google for that info. This way is just an alternative. May be you could prepare them that you will have something serious to tell...
Also, I would advice you to join one of the sites where people who faced the silmilar problem share their experience with the others, I'd recommend you http://www.stidatingclub.com/ . A lot of useful info and advises. Do not give up, be honest and I think everything will be ok.
