I found out in May that My ex gave me herpes. I have ben very honest with everyone around me, and really don't have problem telling someone I just don't know when is it the right time to tell someone. I don't want to tell them too soon and scary them away or too late that they feel like I have been dishonest with them.

I don't think there really is a "right" time to tell someone.
I have had genital herpes for about 5 years. It's definitely not one of the first conversations I have with someone, but I definitely tell them before we get sexually involved. They have the right to know.
I know exactly what you mean though, you don't want to tell someone too soon because it can scare them away. I told my boyfriend at the time (now fiance) about a month into our relationship. He was kind of surprised I had it, but he was really supportive and nice about it.
I think every situation is different. Whenever you feel it is the right time is when you should tell them, but definitely before you become sexually involved. Good luck to you!

You have been honest with everyone around you?
And you do not want to be dishonest with them, yeh?
For me I talk these to my lovers only.
For you with so many around there will be plenty more they'll give you.
I advice you to hold back till you've the full concoction, then call them to a meeting and announce to them once & for all,
Ladies & Gentleman I'll be honest to all of you, Tq for giving me herpes, gonorrhoea, syphllis and those penicillin, tetramycin, yoursin jabs.

well i wouldent tell them right away , as long as you tell them before sex your good . Thing is your going to find out who all just wanted a bang and who all really liked you . The one who wasent serious at all will run it sucks , but smile knowing at least you dident have to waste a month or more trying to find that fact out .so maybe wait untill you really think they can handle it . not at the first date dinner table ..lol
