IT IS NOT AIDS BUT IT IS SOMETHING AND THINK OF HOW DEPPRESING IT WAS WHEN YOU FIRST GOT IT, YOU SHOULD TALK TO HIM RIGHT AWAY TO SEE IF HES WILLING TO GET THE DISEASE BECAUSE YOU CAN STILL GIVE IT TO HIM EVEN IF YOU DONT HAVE SORES.

I think it is completely wrong to have sex with someone and you know that you have this disease. Be honest I would assume that the person you got it from was not honest with you. Please give others the option you were not giving. It's the right thing to do.
