Hello my sisters. I already feel like part of the family. I am 70 years old and was diagnosed with 2 back in 2014. I had been married for 13 years at that point. I was horrified of course. Blaming myself and going through all the unhealthy thoughts we have all experienced. My husband was never worried about the diagnosis. I don’t believe he over became infected, at least no symptoms, He passed away almost 2 years ago. Now, I am back dating. I met a very nice fellow and have enjoyed several dates with him over the last 3 months. We both have a strong Christian faith and have not had sexual intercourse up to this point. I do feel our relationship is progressing and it may soon be time to have “The Talk”. I have been reading Dr. Kelly’s book as well as “The Good News About the Bad News” in preparation for this day. I have read conflicting information about kissing and transmission of HSV2. This has me mortified because this relationship involves a lot of kissing. So many articles talk about kissing being one of the means of transmission. Then, I’ve read in other places HSV2 absolutely does not spread from the genitals by kissing. If it is spread by kissing then I probably have infected him. For which I will never forgive myself. Does anyone have any input on this? I’m already concerned about rejection when I tell him about my infection.
