How to Tell a Partner if You Have Herpes
Look for logical opportunities to bring up the subject. This way it seems more natural, there's not time to get nervous, and you're not making it into a bigger deal than it is. With more and more singles talking about 'safe sex' and AIDS, these opportunities come up fairly frequently. You might even be surprised to learn that the person you've been worried about telling, has been worried about telling you.
The following opening statements represent a variety of non-threatening ways to prompt discussion. They are not intended to be regarded as scripts.Words can be clumsy and awkward. Choose your own words and your own way of telling a partner. You'll find the way that's most comfortable for you.
"When two people get along as well as we do, I think we owe it to each other to be totally honest. I'd like to talk about our sexual histories."
"I really enjoy being with you, and I'm glad that we're becoming more intimate. I think it's important that we talk about sex. Can we talk now?"
"We're both responsible adults who want to do what's best for each other and ourselves. Let's talk about safe sex."
"I really feel that I can trust you, and I'd like to tell you something very personal. Last year, I found out that I had contracted genital herpes."
"I have something I'd like to discuss with you. Have you ever had a cold sore or fever blister? The reason I ask is that cold sores and fever blisters are caused by a type of virus. Herpes simplex virus. I have the virus. Only instead of getting a sore on my mouth, I get one in my genital area."
* "I want to talk with you about something that's important to me. Have you ever had a cold sore or fever blister? A type of virus causes cold sores and fever blisters. I have this virus. Only, instead of getting the sores near my mouth, I get them in my genital area."
"I really feel I can trust you and I want to tell you something very personal. Last year, I found out I have genital herpes. It's not as serious as it sounds. Can I tell you about it?"
"I really like you and enjoy being with you, and I want to get closer to you. Let's talk about safer sex."
Try not to be melodramatic. This is not a confession or a lecture, simply the sharing of information between two people. Avoid loaded words like 'awful', 'disgusting', or 'incurable'. Which statement would you rather hear? "I have this horrible, incurable, sexually transmitted disease, and I could give it to you," Or: "I found out two years ago that I have herpes. Luckily it's both treatable and manageable. Could we talk about what this means for us?"
Many people practise by telling a friend first. It builds up your confidence and gives you a feel for the kind of questions others might ask. Plus, the more people you tell, the easier it gets.
Another good idea is to role play the situation with a friend who already knows your situation. But don't let them always play the understanding partner. It's important to prepare for a variety of situations - not just the easy ones. In addition, convincing another person can help convince you.
