How to tell him I have herpes?
A few years ago I got the virus for HSV1 from someone eating me out. This means that I have genital herpes, but it's the type that usually manifests as cold sores, which 80% of people have the virus for. Most research shows genital HSV1 as less contagious than coldsores, but I still think its important to tell him this before having sex, so that he's fully aware of all I'm aware of and we're on the same page.
We leave for break on Tuesday and will be separate for a week before seeing each other again. I'm thinking of talking to him about this before leaving, maybe Sunday or on Monday, so that he can think about it over break, but still have a day or two to hang and feel close to me with this knew knowledge before heading off. But I also wonder if it could be better to tell him on the phone towards the end of break or when we get back so that we can spend more time together in person.
How would you want someone to tell you this? What sort of timing and conversation would make you most comfortable? How do you think you'd feel and respond if you were him? Thanks for your help!!
