No One Knows I have Herpes

by Lulu
(Australia)

No one knows I have herpes, not even my spouse. I have asymptomatic herpes and intend to keep things this way. I take the prescribed meds my physician administered to me.

Also, I do tell my husband that I do not want to engage in sexual intercourse if he is not wearing a condom. This is for the prevention of pregnancy, is what I told him. He does not know I have herpes. This is a secret I am living with and it is not easy.

The reason I have herpes, however, will probably kill my husband or break his heart. Thank you for this website, which has given me the courage to expose my secret to you, so that I never have to tell my husband.

Wow...

I can't believe I'm reading this. I don't want to jump on you, but seriously... you are a married woman. Your husband should be your best friend. There should be no secrets (especially like this) between you two. How can u put him at risk like this? Don't u know you can still spread/contract Herpes even using a condom? I tell you what, it will be a terrible day if he finds out about your secret the hard way...

Eventually he will want to stop using the condoms. What happens when he decides, "Honey, I want to have kids now"??? Then what will you say? What will be your reason for the condom use, then? Think about it.

keep your secret
by: Anonymous

I empathise with you. I have just been diagnosed though looking back I think I have had it for 20 years or more. I cant face telling anyone and I cant see me doing that. I've searched the web for stories like yours and it's virtually impossible to find them. makes me suspicious, but anyway I wish you luck. You could always get tested and fake not having known when the time comes to have children.

Why would you want to "fake" like you didn't know you had it? The person who suggested you continue to keep your HUSBAND in the dark about this is obviously either not married, divorced or has no respect for relationships. A lie like this can destroy the trust in your marriage, which can in turn destroy your marriage. If you care anything at all about KEEPING your husband, I would simply tell him. I'm sure he will understand why you were afraid to tell. For all you know, you could have already passed it to him. He WILL find out eventually... I told my husband... he married me anyway. It's up to you what you decide, but I urge you not to continue keeping this a secret from him; he is your husband for goodness sake.
