[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Somebody disclosed it to me when we were dating. I was very unsure what to do, and worried, and I called a friend for advice. One of the things she told me which has stayed with me was that the person who discloses to you early on that they have herpes is a person who is looking out for you. The way to repay trust is not to run for the hills, it's to proceed with caution. I ended up going forward with the relationship (slowly) and never caught it. (It's not as contagious as you might think).

This is great advice.  Tell early (though not immediately -- let yourselves at least get to know each other first!) so the person knows you are being totally upfront.  Although I might be freaked out if a person told me this very early on, I'd also respect it and appreciate it.  I would be angry even if I really liked the other person if we got really into the relationship and then I found out.  If I wasn't comfortable with continuing, it would feel like I just "wasted" my time with them and like they weren't being honest.[/quote]
