Good Afternoon,
My name is Tristan and I am new to this tribe. Nice to have come across it. I am have been living with Herpes for the past 9 years. The stigma of it sucks. It is frustrating. Even after 9 years it is still hard to tell a potential lover of the condition. I have had understanding lovers in the past..Up until recently. It is rather painful to be rejected because I was honest. Although the other person was not honest in the reason why they have decided to avoid me. I am usually quite capable of sitting down and explaining the disease. But this person did not even want to go there. It really did hurt me. But I suppose this frustration goes with the disease.
Bright Blessings,
Tristan

Re: New Here
10/02Welcome!
You have seniority on me, I got it last year.
I recently was playing with a friend, and had to confess as we started getting down to biz, and biz stopped right there. That was the first time I had that happen, and it made me sad. But i was glad I gave them the choice that I never got.
So many of us have it, and so many deny it or lie about it. I know it's time to get this STD talked about and mainstream in education, but I'm scared too. I really dont want to be known as "That Herpes Guy". Like Magic Johnson is "That HIV Guy". But you gotta admit, he's making a difference. -

Re: New Here
10/15herpes is definately a life altering disease. one in which i could live without. but i found that through having this disease i have become a stronger person. also it has made me more particular in whom i choose as a potential lover. it has made me brave in the fact that i have to tell that potentional lover about my herpes. it also has taught me to love myself more. taking care of my nutritional health, stress level. it has taught me about rejection and honesty. it has definately altered my life; but now after years of having this disease i have come to embrace it. it has made me a better person.
Bright Blessings,
Tristan
