That really is unfortunate and it sucks that it's not even one of those things you can learn from because it sticks with you for life. In those cases, I would not tell the person you're dating up front. (I know honesty is the best policy, but in this case it's better to save that honesty for a more appropriate time). Let him get to know you more over a few months... a few weeks is not enough. Then if you guys get serious and want to have sex, let him know that's the deal. If he's really into you and think you're wifey material, he'll probably stay regardless. But in those cases you also have to choose very carefully. Because you will be giving someone else herpes and changing their lives for the worse in that sense. So make sure they're THE ONE if you do choose to have sex.
around 60% of the people have herpes HSV-1
and at least 20% of the people have herpes HSV-2...
so that's millions and millions of people, so I would suggest that you talk with your ObGyn first, and maybe they can help you with this too, about how to talk with your partners about this, the more you understand about your situation, the easier it could be to talk about it with others.

Guess what? If you don't tell him, you could actually be committing a crime. But beyond that, a lot of people have it, and there are ways to control it.
I understand it's a crime. I like this man and that's why I want to tell him. Otherwise I'm not into someone and don't bother with a sex life at all. But I've been turned down over this before. It hurts big time!
Sounds like you've answered your own question. There's no magic way to tell him. You just suck it up and say it. If he dumps you, he wasn't the man for you in the first place. Do you take Valtrex or any other meds for it?
Just Tell Him ! He has the right to know!
You could be giving him a virus that causes Cancer! 😡
He may want to use condoms while having sex with you!
Not telling him is the same as having the HIV Virus!!!
I am telling him. I'm asking How do I tell him. Chillllz
Your better off telling him before sex and earlier on, Just say you have some bad news to tell him and just tell him because if you do it later or too late it will be bad and he might get real angry which would be understandable.
You need to be honest with him. If he can't understand your situation, then he is not the one for you. As far as being loved or / and wanted. People will love you. You first however need to love yourself.
I admire that you are telling him. you are a good women to be honest about that
