Advice pls
Hi guys, so my boyfriend and I have been together for about 5 months. I told him in the beginning that I have HSV-1, and he didn’t really ask anything else, and I didn’t go deeper into it.
For me, it’s on my lower back/upper butt area, and it’s from being assaulted when I was younger. I can’t really speak on what happened because I don’t remember, but sometimes I feel like maybe I should tell him everything I *do* know about it.
I’ve never told anyone about that before, but I do want to be completely honest. I also don’t have outbreaks, and my blood tests have been negative, but I had a positive swab before, so I think that just means it’s dormant.
What’s a good way to approach this? Do I need to tell him everything, or is there a better way to handle it?
