The best advice I can offer is to do as much research as possible about your STD.
Don't be afraid to ask your doctor questions. Learn as much as you can, not only will this keep you safe, but your partner as well. Learn how your particular disease can spread and how you can prevent further transmission to either other parts of your own body or to your partner.
Be honest and open with your partner, the more you know about your own STD, the more you can help your partner to better understand, if they don't also have it.
It is possible to have a successful relationship/marriage and prevent the spread of your STD to your partner, but without the proper knowledge--you may be putting yourself and your partner at risk.
And We have an STD that will never go away. It's called HERPES! Okay now that the elephant in the room is no longer silent. Let's talk communication. Life is not over just because you have herpes. Yes it's not the ideal situation.
But keep the glass half full at all times. It's not the easiest conversation to have, but if the other person doesn't have herpes, it is only right to tell them. Keep a positive attitude. It will help the other person stay positive. If they make herpes this huge deal, then you know & can move forward. No need to drag out something that will never be. Keep your head up & remember, herpes does not define you or define your worth. You are special & amazing in your own way!
