Is it normal to tell someone on the first date that I have herpes?

  • Assuming you know from your Dr what to do to prevent transmission, and can educate a partner, I'd guess the obvious, which is the point you know your relationship is heading for intimate sexual contact. Neither too early, cause its not their business, nor later than when you have the feeling that intimacy is where you want things to go.

    Are there on-line or other discussion groups on this? Its a good question re: relationships.

    • Thank you for your thoughtful response. I think that no one wants to waste time so telling sooner is better. Herpes 1 is not your typical STD since most people contact it harmlessly through kissing; most commonly as children via a fever blister. I do not know of any monitored discussion groups.
