💚HSV DISCLOSURE GREEN FLAGS💚
Some of these might seem obvious, but it’s helpful to understand what healthy disclosures look like between sexual partners. Frankly, this model could be utilized in discussions with all potential sexual partners, regardless of a partner’s HSV status.
💚 They share their STI screening history and status (mutual disclosure)
💚They communicate about safer sex
💚They request additional resources and/or research outside of you
💚They evaluate and confront their internalized STI stigma
💚They’re not afraid to ask questions or express anxiety
💚They don’t blame or shame you for your HSV status
