I feel so dumb in a way
I had a boyfriend for almost a year now and I didn’t realize how the impact of herpes can be. I trusted him.. he told me that when he doesn’t have an outbreak or bumps we can have sex with no protection and I thought it was true. I also told my GYN about it and they looked at me and agreed in a way. I told them I wanted to end the relationship it they encouraged me in a way to say atleast he disclosed it to you. Fast forward I get so scared everytime we have sex and when I talk about it … it gets very awkward and it’s weird for me because this isn’t something to NOT brush past on. I feel like I had no problem dating him but now I did more research I feel like he didn’t really care if I got it or not in a way he did say he would check all over anytime we did anything and I check tooo. Then come to find out he doesn’t take daily meds. I already have hsv1 since 2023 , my mom said I used to get cold sores as a kid and I figured that out when I got a full screening because they never told me. I feel bad right now because I don’t think I want to be in this anymore due to the circumstances I am in
