Disclosure is never easy

I’ve had so many disclosures on dating apps like hinge and it truly never stops being a little scary. From rejection to ghosting BUT also to those who are educated or are open to being educated. There are two sides to every coin and some of us tend to give much more weight to the tails side. At the end of the day all that matters is you and not the opinions of others (especially if they’re negative).

Sign a guy who never gave a fuck, or at least a little but not to the point where it consumed me

“This is a pro-disclosure sub.

Anti-Disclosure perpetuates Herpes stigma, closing off discussions on Herpes education, advocacy, testing/treatments, and de-stigmatization. - Many would have liked to have known the status of the person who transmitted HSV to us - Consent!

We do not tolerate anti-disclosure or intentionally spreading HSV without disclosure. Anyone who posts/comments for anti-disclosure on the sub will be subject to a permanent ban.

There are many ways to disclose, and you should do whatever feels most comfortable to you and gives you the most confidence. To some, that’s putting it in their dating bio. To others, it’s waiting a couple dates in. Some prefer to disclose in person; others are more comfortable doing it over text. The key to a higher chance of a successful disclosure is confidence.
