At what point do you let the other person know you have herpes...I realize before sex but do you wait till they really like you or do you tell them pretty early in the relationship?I find the whole thing very frustrating and usually just dont bother even to find someone...also are there any sites where you can meet people that have the same problem?..that would be nice then they would understand.

No matter how much the other person likes you, they may not accept it.
You can take Valtrex to protect them. You can find a dating site by typing in...herpes dating

I know first hand how frustrating it is. I choose to tell guys early on that I have hsv2. Its hard but for me I'd rather have them know before I get to emotionally attached to avoid being hurt. If the person you're intrested in or dating truely likes you they'll be willing to work around your disease. Its a personal decision but the best advise I can give is to prepare yourself if they dont want to continue a relationship with you. Some pple will do that and that's their right. You have to be ok with that and just know that the right person will love you no matter what.
You can find herpes dating if u google it. I've never been on any of those sites but I wish you luck if u look into it!
